Let it be known that I am not anti- dairy or anti- egg by any means. However- as mentioned back around the holidays 2016- my little had a reaction to my eating too much dairy and egg. I went a little crazy on my "taste-testing"! I am sure most can relate to that.
That said- here I am, 9 (almost 10) months post- partum and my little LAMM loves nothing more than a satisfying nursing session. I have had my share of friends and relatives express their opinions that (summarized)- soon I won't have to nurse anymore. I know they don't mean any negativity with those opinions- but nursing has been an honest joy for me. I know not everyone has that experience - but it's been mine. I am also intending to nurse as long as my LO wants to, or for as long as my body will allow. Why not continue to fuel my body with the yumminess it needs to support this effort?
I've gone from molding my own version of lactation "boobie bites" to "milk magic" cookies.
One of my recipes, undoubtedly tweaked from three or four recipes I have tried from other mommy'S recipe books- mine replaces your normal butter addition with coconut oil and omits the egg.
I hope you can enjoy these cookies as much as I do- and remember not to go too heavy with Brewers yeast. Straying too far from this recipe will result in a much different cookie texture. * I've tried adding PB2 and an extra scoop of BY and it went BADLY.
1 c. Whole wheat flour
1.5 c Rolled Oats (quick oats are fine!)
3 Tablespoons Brewers Yeast
2 Tablespoons Flaxseed Meal(ground)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 Softened coconut oil (if you need to microwave- make sure not entirely melted)
1/4 teaspoon each: baking soda, baking powder and salt
1 cup chocolate chips ( I like to mix dark and white if I don't have milk choc. )
Bake at 350 (1 dozen cookies on each sheet) until golden. Shouldn't take more than 20 mins!
EAT TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT!
