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

  1. 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.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips gently by hand to distribute evenly without breaking them up.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
