NO BAKE lactation cookies

No bake Lactation Cookies :

I was a bit discouraged with my milk supply when I returned to work last week.

I have exclusively breastfed for the past 9 months, and I honestly can count on two hands how many times I have pumped. My gut tells me that my body is just not used to the breast pump so it is simply less efficient than Lily is, but it is still hard to SEE that tiny bit of milk expressed.

I figured it can’t hurt to try some lactation cookies either way, I am the worst at snacking so this will at the very least help me get more calories in too.

I loosely used a recipe that a friend used from the baker mama, but I measured with my heart a bit because I’m not great at measuring.

2 cups oats (I used steel cut oats)

1/2 cup ground flaxseeds

3 tbsp brewers yeast

1 cup peanut butter, softened in microwave

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup dark cocoa chips

Sprinkle with vanilla sea salt

Scoop with small cookie scoop and refrigerate for 30 minutes before putting into a sealed container.

Store in the refrigerator.

Easy peasy, no bake, and so yummy. The vanilla bean sea salt makes them 👌🏻

Ps. Lily woke up from her nap early and joined me, and gets so mad that she can’t eat any of it. Our girl likes to EAT!

(Babies under 1 year of age should never consume honey due to risk for infant botulism).
