lactation brownies
These lactation brownies are a delicious and nutritious treat to help boost milk production for nursing mothers. Packed with oats, flaxseed meal, and brewer's yeast, they are rich, fudgy, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup brewer's yeast
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan (8x8 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, brewer’s yeast, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that all your dry ingredients are well combined before you add the wet ones.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended. If you're using coconut oil, make sure it's melted before adding it to the mixture.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a thick batter. The mixture should be slightly fudgy and not too runny.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the brownies, as every oven varies slightly. If you like your brownies extra fudgy, you can pull them out a bit earlier.
Cool and Slice
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Once cooled, slice them into squares. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week!
