Lactation Cookies

I had a chance to go to bed early today but then I decided it would be the perfect time to try to make Lactation Cookies! I was even able to make them sugar free! Well, almost. I was naughty and replaced the raisins with chocolate chips, but next time I will make them the healthier way. The oats, flaxseed, almonds and yeast are supposed help increase milk supply. I literally just made these 30 minutes ago, so I will update this post in a few days to let you know if they helped increase my supply or not.

Ingredients:
1 cup butter

2 cups unsweetened applesauce

4 tbsp water

2 tbsp flaxseed meal

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups flour

1 tsp stevia extract

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3 cups oats

1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips!)

1/2 cup slivered almonds

2 tbsp brewer's yeast

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. Mix the flaxseed meal and water together, let sit for 5 minutes

3. Cream butter and applesauce together, then add the eggs

4. Stir in flaxseed mix into the butter mix. Add vanilla

5. Beat until well blended

6. In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except oats, raisins and almonds)

7. Add butter mixture into the flour mixture

8. Stir in the oats, raisins and almonds

9. Scoop onto cookie sheet (i placed parchment paper on them), bake for 11-12 minutes

These cookies are delicious! They have a fluffy texture, probably from the applesauce. Stay tuned for the update!
