Lactation Cookies

For those breastfeeding moms out there, here is a recipe that is not only tasty and healthy (for a cookie), but helps with your milk supply! The brewer's yeast is essential, so don't think you can leave it out.

Also, if you measure your maple syrup in the 1/4 cup measure (only half of it though) BEFORE you measure your honey, it will help the honey just fall out and there won't be much scraping!

Lactation Cookies

3 tablespoons butter, room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/8 cup pure maple syrup

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

4 tablespoons brewer’s yeast

1 tablespoon flax seed

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 /2 cup dried cranberries

1 /4 cup raw sunflower seeds

Combine the butter, sugar, honey, syrup, egg and water and mix well. Adding to the bowl, add the flour, yeast, flax seed, salt and baking soda. Once that is incorporated, mix in the oats, sunflower seeds and cranberries. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool and eat as many as you want!
