Fudgy Oatmeal Lactation Bars

Lots of breastfeeding moms make lactation cookies to help boost their milk supply. These fudgy oatmeal lactation bars are delicious and easy to make – no rolling the dough into lots of little balls – and can help you make more breast milk.

These fudgy oatmeal lactation bars use three galactagogues to help you increase your milk supply – oatmeal, brewer’s yeast, and ground flax seed.

The recipe was inspired by Sarah Biggins, who wrote a cookbook called More Milk Please that unfortunately is not available anymore. The book included a recipe for chocolate lactation bars, which I tweaked to add more brewer’s yeast (for more more milk making power!) and to have the dough in a single layer (to simplify things).

They are really easy to make – basically, you just need to combine most of the ingredients together in an electric mixer to form the dough, and press it into a baking pan. Then, heat a can of condensed milk in a saucepan with chocolate chips, stir until they’re melted, pour it over the dough and put it in the oven!

Enjoy!

      Hi! I haven’t tried! I think it might work? Maybe it would be best to freeze the bottom and put the fudge on when you thaw? I’m not 100% sure, sorry!
