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.
