Lactation Cookies

These cookies dose you up on protein, healthy oils and fiber. If you make them bite size you will be able to grab them in one hand whilst you master the art of breastfeeding. The coconut oil and brewers yeast are super foods for breastmilk.

Picture
Ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut oil (extra virgin cold pressed)
  • ½ cup of honey
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 cup flaxseed meal (or LSA depending on where you live)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups oats (any kind but stay away from instant)

Method

Soak the linseed in water. Yes, you MUST do this to soften it. 
Mix coconut oil and honey together.
Throw wet ingredients into a small bowl. So this includes the oil, sugar, eggs and the linseed/water mixture.
Combine dry ingredients in another bowl and then add in the wet ingredients. Mix well.
Use a spoon to get them into cookie shapes and pop onto a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees. Or until golden brown. Set aside to cool and then eat as many as you can whilst feeding bub.

Dairy Free Sugar Free Gluten Free Baking

Picture
Peanut Butter Biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups (250g) almond meal/flour
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (no additives)
  • 1/2 cup raw honey OR substitute agave for a vegan version
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Method
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stirring through the peanut butter and honey can be a challenge; I find it easier to melt down the two together in a pot over the stove first, then mix through the dry ingredients. Roll into balls, flatten with a fork and bake at 160 for around 8-10 minutes (til slightly browned). This makes around 24.
MAKE THEM SMALL SO THEY COOK EVENLY. THEY DONT RISE OR SPREAD.
