    Chocolate Chip, Date & Coconut Lactation Cookies

    I had never tried lactation biscuits before having our baby boy.  Whilst googling random things during a night feed (as you do), I came across ‘low fat’ biscuit recipes on the Lose Baby Weight website.  I have since made a few batches and have added a couple of ingredients and make my cookies smaller (usually getting between 36 – 48 cookies), so I am unsure of the nutritional content.

    I snack on these easy lactation cookies during the afternoon to help boost my milk supply during the early evening when it seems to be at it’s lowest.  A batch usually last up to a week (my husband won’t eat them as he thinks they will make him start lactating!), and I think they have helped my supply – or I may just be telling myself that they are!

     

    1 ½ Cups of Rolled Oats

    ¾ Cup of Flaxseed (Linseed Meal)

    3 Tablespoons of Brewers Yeast – I use 4 x 5g sachets of brewers yeast

    ½ Cup of Unsweetened Applesauce

    ⅓ Cup of Maple Syrup – I substitute for Golden Syrup as it’s cheaper

    ¼ Cup of Light Oil

    1 small Egg

    1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

    ½ Teaspoon of Baking Soda

    ½ Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon

    ½ Cup of Chocolate Chips – I use Cadbury dark chocolate chips… yummo!

    8 -12 Pitted Dates chopped up

    ½ Cup of Coconut

    • Preheat oven to 180 degrees (Fan Forced)
    • Line 2 trays with Baking Paper
    • Combine Apple Sauce, Maple Syrup, Oil, Egg and Vanilla Extract and whisk until smooth.
    • Stir in Oats, Flaxseed, Brewers Yeast, Baking Soda, Coconut and Cinnamon until combined
    • Fold in Chocolate Chips and Dates.

    • Lightly roll teaspoon sized balls of mixture and place on tray – flatten slightly with a fork
    • Bake for 12 – 14 minutes until starting to turn golden brown

    I’d love to hear any other lactation cookie recipes that you may have – preferably ones that work!
