Postpartum recovery calls for nourishment, and what better way to celebrate the season than with holiday-inspired lactation cookies? 🍪🎄
These cookies are packed with:
✨ Oats for milk production
✨ Flaxseed and brewer’s yeast for postpartum health
✨ A touch of festive spice for the holiday spirit!
Try this easy recipe to support your milk supply during the holidays:
Dry Ingredients:
3 ¾ cup almond flour (I like the Bob’s Red Mill Brand best)
¾ cup sesame seeds + ½ cup for rolling (you can use white hulled or toasted)
1 tsp for cardamom (use pre-ground or grind your own in a dedicated mill)
½ tsp salt
(1/4 tsp of cinnamon for a nice holiday version!)
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup of tahini
1 cup of all natural organic maple syrup
1 Tbsp ghee or butter
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the ¾ cup of sesame seeds along with all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the dry and wet ingredients together and refrigerate for 1 hour. Form the dough into 1.5 inch balls and roll them in the remaining ½ cup sesame seeds. Place the dough balls on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper . Lightly grease the bottom of a glass drinking glass with ghee or butter and gently press the balls into a round disc shape.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until they begin to look cracked on top. The cookies will seem to still be “doughy” but will but once they are cool they will be a bit crunchy on the outside and slightly “chewy” on the inside.
