Let’s be friends! Connect with me on Facebook, Instagramand Pinterest!

As I will tell you time and again, I am a firm believer in galactagogues! And also in cookies! 🙂 They work very well for me in terms of increasing breastmilk supply and have been a staple in my establishing this time around, especially! (Check out my post about increasing supply HERE) Fenugreek does terrible things to my supply, so I have gotten creative. I came up with this recipe when I was nursing Addilyn, and after having a lot of success with them, had a few batches frozen and ready to go when I came home from the hospital with Lilliana.

I tried my hand at quite a few different lactation cookies, but most are dry and honestly just gross! I tried the expensive ones that you order online, but with our budget that was just not a sustainable option for me. Once I perfected these delicious milk bombs, I have never gone back! I keep them on hand and eat a few a day (sometimes for breakfast…) and can definitely tell on the days that I don’t.

Soon to be mama? Do yourself a favor and make about 5 batches before you have your baby! Struggling with supply? Make some today and enjoy a few extra! You will thank me, I promise!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies

  • Servings: 20-25 Cookies
  • Time: 30 mins
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  •  5 tbsp Brewer’s Yeast 
  • 4 tbsp ground flax seeds
  •  1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, Brewer’s yeast, flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until well incorporated.
  5. Add in the dry ingredients a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula until well distributed.
  7. Roll into balls that are approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  8. Place on your cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the bottoms are golden.
  9. Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
You can totally stop at the “roll into ball” phase and freeze these! I typically double the recipe and freeze (at least) half. Simply place them on a cutting board, close together but not touching, and freeze for a few hours. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months! Then you can just pull out a few (or a dozen) at a time and bake. It is also super handy when dropping a meal to a new mom to gift her a bag of dough balls to bake when she wants them!

    Can you use regular yeast flakes instead of brewers yeast for this recipe?

      The Brewer’s Yeast is the galactagogue, so it has to be that specifically!

These two girls are my daily reminder that even on These two girls are my daily reminder that even on the hard days, God is so good to me. How beautiful that we caught a rainbow 🌈 in our fountain pointing to a sign that says just that on our bike ride last night?! I thought I may never have kids. Now I have these two and they are my world 🌎 (even though they make me a little cray some days 😖🥰). Love being a girl mom 💕

Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We Happy birthday to my best friend, our Claudia! We love you so much. When I look back over the last few years, I’m so freaking proud of the growth I see in you. You’ve overcome more than anyone your age should ever have had to and I know Dillon is so proud of you. Here’s to a new year filled with all of the good things that you deserve. Thanks for all of the girls nights, awkward convos, deep chats, play dates, dr visits and so much more. You’re a gem 💎 ! Can’t wait to do life with you for another trip around the sun. Love you so much 🤍
We said “see you later” to some very sweet fri We said “see you later” to some very sweet friends tonight. We have been blessed to do life with Andrew & Morgan for the last 5 or so years-Andrew even longer. Morgan was even in the delivery room for my rainbow 🌈 baby’s birth (as a student nurse). 🥹 I’m so proud of them for boldly stepping out in faith to do what God has put on their lives. We may be apart in body, but we will be together in spirit. Love you, Browder fam! 🤍
My little baby shower buddy. I’m so thankful for My little baby shower buddy. I’m so thankful for your sweet, helping heart 🤍
