Lactation Cookie Recipe

I really love these cookies! My husband and brother wont try them because of the name though haha! I don't really blame them, it makes it seem like they will start lactating haha! These seem to help me with increasing my breast milk supply. You can get a lot of information from the source of the recipe: Click for source  

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup self raising wholemeal flour (if you have plain flour, add 1/2 tsp baking powder)
• 1/2 cup low fat butter (for a healthier option, use organic, virgin coconut oil instead which is super good for you!)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (if wanting to reduce sugar, you could try just 1/2 cup)
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal (can be found at any local health food store or on Amazon)
• 1 egg
• 2-3 tablespoons of water (depends if you prefer moister cookies)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla (optional, for flavour)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for flavour)
• 1-2 tablespoons of brewers yeast (do not substitute with bakers yeast or any other yeast).
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (use himalayan salt if possible)
• 1 & 1/2 cups oats (get the thicker cut oats if you can)

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flaxseed and water, let sit for a few minutes before adding to mix.
• Add the dry ingredients (apart from the oats and your additional ingredients) and mix well again.
• Finally, stir in the oats and your additional ingredient.
• Make the biscuits (I use a desert spoon as a rough size guide) and place them onto a lightly greased or lined baking tray. Flatten them a little with your fingers or a spatula – if you like a soft centre, don’t squish them down too much. If you like you can just make them into balls – I do this and love the soft centre!
Bake for around 10-12 minutes depending on how well cooked/crunchy you like your biscuits – I prefer them a little soft and lightly cooked.
