Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookie Bars

This past weekend, I made peanut butter chocolate chip lactation cookie bars for a friend that recently had a new baby. There are tons of galactagogues in this recipe, and lots of delicious peanut butter and chocolate so that you don’t taste them!

The galactagogues that I used for this recipe are oatmeal, flax seed, and brewer’s yeast. I ordered the brewer’s yeast from amazon, which is the easiest way to get it.

The batter consists of peanut butter, butter, and brown sugar mixed with the galactagogues and normal dry ingredients. Then you fold in the chocolate chips, put it in a pan, and you’re good to go! Super easy.

I made two batches, so that my family could have some cookies, too. My husband and kids loved this recipe! (And so did I.) I couldn’t taste the brewer’s yeast or flax seed at all, and I only could tell that there were oats in them because I knew that they were there.

These bars were adapted from this recipe. I tweaked a few things – first, I added more vanilla, since this recipe calls for quite a bit of brewer’s yeast, and I thought a little more vanilla might help balance the taste. I also added some of the chocolate chips directly into the batter versus sprinkling them on top.
