No Bake Lactation Cookies!

So for my very first post, I give you cookies!

I created this recipe using the base of a no bake cookie recipe and lactation cookie ingredients! I assure you, these are delicious and nutritious! This recipe is open to almost infinite substitution, also! 

1 1/2 C dry oats
1/2 C nut butter (peanut/almond/etc) OR nutella
1/2 C ground flax seed (or whole)
2 Tbsp brewer's yeast
3/4 C nuts/chocolate chips/dried fruit/sunflower seeds/etc
1/3 C honey


Stir all ingredients together til thoroughly mixed. Chill in refrigerator 20-30 minutes. Once chilled, roll into balls. Store in airtight container up to 1 week. Makes 20-25 1" balls.
As if they'll last a whole week...
I used half flax and half hemp hearts in my batch today, and I used sunflower seeds, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Yum!!!
Let me know what you think and what your favorite version of the recipe is!

  1. Can I make these without using Brewers Yeast. I live in the Philippines and I can't find any. :(

    1. Absolutely! I usually don't have brewer's yeast either, it's just helpful in producing milk. Another thing that can help production is non-alcoholic beer because it contains brewer's yeast, and alcohol can lower production in some women. Good luck!

  3. These look great! Suggestion...fresh ground flax is always best. While flax goes right through you and you don't get the benefits. Can't wait to try these!
