Super Easy Lactation Brownie Recipe

Do you struggle with low milk supply? I feel you, mama. I have battled this with both of my daughters, especially my first. I shelled out tons of money buying lactation treats online…and they did actually work! But as a stay at home mom, it just wasn’t feasible in our budget to keep up with that. I worked hard to develop my (now viral) chewy chocolate chip lactation cookies that work like magic, and today I am going to teach you a crazy easy way to make Lactation Brownies From a Boxed Mix! (I make them from scratch when I am operating my home baking business, but I realize that most people don’t have that kind of time!) You’ll want to hop on over to Pinterest and save this one, because you’ll be referencing it often! 

Lactation Brownie Ingredients

First, you will want to grab a family size (make sure you do family size, not regular!) box of your favorite brownie mix! I like the Pillsbury Chocolate fudge or the Ghirardelli myself. The flavor variety literally does not matter. The sky is the limit! 

You will also need good Brewer’s Yeast powder. Trust me, they are not all created equally. Some leave a gross aftertaste, so take my advice on this one! I love the Mommy Knows Best brand because it is completely tasteless! Plus it’s non GMO and doesn’t have anything extra added to it. You can grab it on Amazon here and they sometimes have it on sale! One bag will last you a while, even if you make these often!

Lactation Brownie Ingredients

I like to add Ghirardelli chocolate chips to mine. They give it a really gooey texture. You can leave these out if you want, or substitute really any add in that you like! M&M’s candy, peanut butter chips, Reese’s Pieces, Caramel Bits, Nuts…go crazy if you want to! 

Lactation Brownie Ingredients

You also need good Rolled Oats and Ground Flax Seed. I realized after I took these pictures that I forgot to include the Flax Seed in the photos. Don’t skip that step! This is a good Flax Seed Brand! These two things, coupled with the Brewer’s Yeast are your galactagogues, so don’t leave them out!

Before you start anything else, combine your Flax seed meal and water in a small prep bowl and let it soak (sorry that I forgot a pic of this step. Literally stir them together and let them sit a few minutes).

Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

Add in the regular brownie ingredients (eggs, oil, water), as called for on the box. Also add your soaked Flax seed here.

Stir in your mix-ins.

Grease your pan and add the mix. You can use a regular 9×13 pan, but I personally am obsessed with my Pampered Chef Brownie Pan. All of the brownies have that edge-piece crisp with the chewy center. Plus they are perfectly portioned and easy to freeze (more on that later).

Bake according to the package directions! With my brownie pan, it takes about 20 minutes. With a 9×13, usually around 30 or so. 

Homemade Lactation Brownies

Let them cool and voila! Perfectly gooey, easy lactation brownies!

These make a fantastic gift for a new mama, too! So even if you aren’t nursing babies, go ahead and save this one. It’s so easy to make Lactation Brownies From a Boxed Mix and your friends will thank you!

Now, before we get to the actual recipe, a note on freezing. If I am having a decent supply week, I eat one of these a day. If I am sensing a supply drop (around my period, stress, etc) I will do two a day. When I am on my two-a-day kick (sometimes I just do it because I can’t help myself 🙂 ), it is no problem at all to eat these before they start to get dry. I just keep them in an airtight container on the counter. 

But on the weeks where I am only eating one at a time, after a few days they begin to dry out. To combat this, most of the time I just make a batch, wrap them in these little self-seal bags and pop them into the freezer! It keeps them fresh for a long time, and I just pull one out when I want it. Most of the time I don’t even let it thaw!

One final note: You may be familiar with the term “Emergency brownies,” made popular by several Lactation treat companies. That just means they are more potent and help boost supply quickly. If you want to make these ER brownies, add an additional two TBSP of Brewer’s Yeast and double the flax seed/water (and don’t leave out the mix-ins! The extra calories give more of a boost). They will taste a little bit different, but still so good!

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!

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 🎆 🥰
