No Sugar Added Lactation Cookies
These lactation cookies are nutritious and help moms make more milk. Just a little brewer's yeast goes a long way.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- 2 bananas
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 3 tbsp Brewers Yeast
- 1/2 cup crushed walnuts, almonds, or your favorite nut
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup raisins (you can use more or less)
- 3 tbsp ground fenugreek
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ground clove, 1/4 tsp allspice)
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix all of your dry ingredients together: oats, brewer's yeast, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground fenugreek and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Puree the banana using a hand mixer or a fork. Add the eggs and coconut oil and give it a good mix.
-
Add your wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Then, add in your oats and gently mix by hand so you don't break them. You can use a mixer but it loses its oatmeal cookie texture.
-
Add raisins, almonds, walnuts, or whatever nut/seed of your choosing. These are for extra nutritional value.
-
Drop 2 tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) onto a prepared cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. I use parchment paper so I don't have to grease a pan. Press the cookie dough down just a bit.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on your cookie size. Cook them on a rack before eating. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
This will make about 12-14 cookies, but you can make smaller cookies by cutting the tablespoon 1/2 or make extra large cookies by adding a tablespoon.
