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!

Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to se Emmarie Faith 🤍. It took us quite a while to settle on this one, but it couldn’t be more perfect. My Grandma Tucker- who I loved so very much- was named Emma Marie. My Granddaddy lovingly called her ‘Rie. So this name spelling is a special nod to her. Pronounced like “Emory” but spelled with sentiment. We are so excited to meet this sweet girl in just a couple of months!

But this past week of memories is something I will cherish for a lifetime, and has been more than worth every penny we saved and worked hard for to make this happen. If you’re on the fence…just take the trip. You will not regret it 🤍

We had the wildest day 🤍🐅🐆🦓🐘🦒🦬🦏
If you haven’t looked at my stories, it’s been If you haven’t looked at my stories, it’s been a day. Not at all the way I planned this magical first day but very thankful it wasn’t worse. I’ll update more tomorrow when I have the energy on exactly what happened for those asking, but I just want to brag on this man of ours for a second.

He had me for the first maybe 1/3 of our day and then I had to leave him in the park, by himself, with 2 and 4 year old girls. (I wouldn’t let them come sit at the hospital and waste their day unless it became urgent. He tried). 

This guy didn’t miss a beat. He did all of the princess meet and greets, rode all the girly rides, the potty breaks, the snacks, the parades, all of it. He stepped up and made sure our babies still had the time of their lives and got to do pretty much everything that they wanted. And as a mom, that is the most romantic thing he could ever do for me. He is the best dad and leader and I’m so proud he’s mine. And very thankful I was able to rejoin them for the fireworks 🎆 🥰
