Lactation Cookies

Whether you’re a new mama or know someone who’s a new mama, these cookies are the perfect snack or gift!!

Gluten and dairy free - don’t worry your tastebuds will still have a little party!

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups organic oats

  • Oats are incredibly nutritive and supporting to the new mama’s gut & nervous system

• 1 cup organic oat flour or buckwheat flour

• 1/2 teaspoon of organic baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon organic baking powder

• 1/2 cinnamon

  • Great for blood sugar regulation!

• 1/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt

  • High in minerals - mama needs her minerals!

• 1/2 - 3/4 cup of melted coconut oil

• 1 cup of coconut sugar (plus 1/4 cup of raw honey if you want extra sweetness)

• 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal

  • A phytoestrogen to help regulate hormones. Also a great source of omega 3!

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 tablespoon ground fenugreek

  • Amazing at supporting breastmilk production!

• 1 teaspoon shatavari (don’t make my mistake and overdose on the shatavari - it’s a bitter herb).

  • Shatavari is the queen of postpartum herbs and helps with mamas recovery & breastmilk supply

Method

• Preheat oven to 180degrees. Line a baking tray with baking paper,

• In a bowl mix the oats, oat/buckwheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, flaxseed meal, cinnamon, salt, fenugreek & shatavari.

• In a seperate bowl mix the melted oil, coconut sugar/honey, vanilla and eggs.

• Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly

• Scoop a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and pop on the baking tray. Press down with a fork. Ensure the cookie balls have enough space between them on the tray.

• Bake for 10-15 minutes (or until golden). Remove from the oven and let them cool (don’t worry if they’re soft, they’ll harden up)

  Voila, enjoy mamas!
