Are you a breastfeeding mom? Life Therapies RHN Chelsey Prince has a one-bowl wonder to share: Lactation Cookies.
Filled with oats and brewer’s yeast to help support breast milk production, they also have calcium rich tahini, omega rich walnuts and flax seeds, and zinc filled pumpkin seeds to support your health during those middle of the night feeding sessions. These lactation cookies come together quickly and bake up in only a few minutes. The perfect recipe for busy new moms who are short on time!
Ingredients
6 tablespoons tahini
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened or melted (can use butter)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups oats
2-4 tbsp brewer’s yeast (may need to work up to 4 tbsp as that’s when the bitter taste really comes through)
1/8 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment.
In a medium bowl, stir together the tahini, honey, coconut oil, and cinnamon until well combined. Mix in remaining ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are slightly brown. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
