Our two older baby granddaughters, Audryna & Lexcyee
But with Brylee, her third baby girl, it has worked out perfectly! Though li'l miss Brylee is very demanding in that department.
Li'l miss Brylee, our newest baby granddaughter
So my daughter started looking up ways to increase milk production, and she found cookie recipes. I am sure there are tons of other ways to increase your milk, but my daughter loves her some cookies, lol! So of course, that is the direction she wanted to try. She then asked me if she brought the ingredients (because she is an awesome kid like that, to not ask me to do something for her, without thinking she should be appreciative enough to provide the materials...though I would have totally never expected her to do that!) and recipe to me, would I make them for her...saying that every time she tries to make stuff like this, it messes up. (I think it's the fact that everything is better when someone else does it for you!) But no matter what the reasoning, me being the mom and grandma that I am, I jumped on it!
When she brought the ingredients, and the recipe for the No Bake Lactation Cookies, I was surprised to see that they are basically the same as Preacher Cookies, well that is what we call them, I see them on Pinterest as being No Bake Cookies. The only differences were the healthier ingredients. So on to the recipe....
Take one stick of butter and put it in a saucepan and start melting....
Get a pretty big bowl and add 3 cups of steel oats, 1/8 cup of ground flaxseed meal, and 1 Tablespoon of Brewers Yeast Powder (we did not use this because my daughter is already taking Brewers Yeast supplements daily), set aside.
Once your butter is completely melted, add 2 cups brown sugar, 1/2 cup almond milk, 3/4 cup peanut butter, and 1 cup carob chips, (you can use chocolate chips, but my daughter chose to use carob) and bring it all to a boil. Warning: When you are mixing up these ingredients as they are blending together, you are really going to be tempted to lick the spoon, DO NOT DO IT, it will scald you badly....take my word for it, lol.
Once it is at a full rolling boil, time it for exactly one minute, then remove from heat and pour the mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and mix well. Remember the previous warning? Yeah, follow that again with this step, again, taking my word for it....
Drop mixture by spoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to cool. Then enjoy!
And my daughter literally says that after eating a few, she is waking up and is completely "full", and beyond able to satisfy her very demanding baby girl!
Li'l miss Brylee's milk coma
I made this two times so far and they are very very good! It seems like they help my milk supply too :)
ReplyDeleteI have to apologize for not replying to your comment...I didn't have the setting checked to notify me! I am glad you liked them, they are actually very close to the preacher cookies I grew up loving, and made for my children...where you use regular oatmeal, cocoa, regular milk, etc. My daughter swears these cookies helped her with her supply!
DeleteI just made these tonight and they taste great! Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I did not have my "notify me" box checked, so I did not see your comment, I apologize! They really are good, though I prefer the normal preacher cookie or no bake cookies recipe because it uses regular oatmeal, and I am not in need of help with my milk supply, being 49 years old and all, lol!
DeleteGoing to try this one today
ReplyDeleteI apologize for not seeing this comment until RIGHT NOW! I did not have my settings right, but I do hope that they turned out good for you, and that you enjoyed them!
DeleteCan u use regular milk
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I did not see your comment until now...but yes, you can use regular milk, the almond milk just helps to promote lactation, as do almonds...
Delete....
DeleteHey there do you think you could post the recipe with the oatmeal? Oatmeal helps boost supply too and I'd like to tweak it a bit and see if I can combine the two recipes. Also how many did your daughter eat to help boost her supply? Thanks
