Lactation Boosting Cookies

A tasty little receipe that will also help to improve the quality and supply of breast milk.  Widely used by mothers!  If you have 2-3 smallish ones a day it balances out supply but if you need to boost the supply eat more.

Ingredients :

* 1 cup butter or marg

* 1 cup sugar

* 1 cup brown sugar

* 4 tablespoons water

* 2 tablespoons linseed (flaxseed) meal*

* 2 large eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla

* 2 cups flour

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 3 cups oats, thick cut if you can get them

* 1 cup or more chocolate chips

* 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast* (be generous)

Directions:

Preheat oven at 375 degrees F, 180c. Mix together 2 tablespoons of linseed meal and water, set aside for 3-5 minutes. Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mix well. Stir linseed mixture and add with vanilla to the margarine mix. Beat until blended. Sift together dry ingredients, except oats and chips. Add to margarine mixture. Stir in oats & chips. Scoop onto baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Bake 8-12 minutes, depending on size of cookies.

Serves: 6 dozen cookies (a huge batch)

Preparation time: 15 minutes

*NOTE* IT MUST BE BREWERS YEAST, NO SUBSTITUTIONS. Bakers yeast will NOT do - it must be brewer's yeast.   Flaxseed is just the American name for Linseed.

We've saved you the hassle of traipsing around for these two ingredients which are often tricky to find.   You can order the Brewers Yeast and Linseed Meal in a prepack from our store, for one batch of cookies: Lactation Boosting Cookies DIY

 

You can also try nursing tea, fenugreek capsules, and nettle capsules to improve breast milk supply and quality which are products that we have on the Breastmates Webstore
