Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup ground or milled flaxseed
3 tablespoons brewer’s yeast

Wet Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter or almond butter
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, combine the oats, ground flaxseed, brewer’s yeast, nut butter, honey, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are well incorporated into a sticky dough.
Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips gently by hand to distribute evenly without breaking them up.
Form Bites: Roll the mixture into smooth balls approximately 2 tablespoons in size using your hands. Place each ball on a parchment-lined sheet pan to keep them from sticking.
Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. You can also enjoy them right away if preferred.
Store Properly: Once set, transfer the lactation bites to an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut butter of your preference.
Brewer’s yeast is key for lactation benefits but can be omitted if unavailable, though it may reduce effectiveness.
If you prefer a sweeter bite, you can add more honey to taste.
Keep the bites refrigerated to prevent them from becoming too soft or sticky.
These bites make a great on-the-go snack for busy moms or as a healthy treat anytime.
