Lactation Cookies (THE BEST)
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup buckwheat flour
3 Tbsp brewers yeast (skip if you aren’t breastfeeding)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1 egg (or flax egg: 1 Tbs flax plus 3 Tbs water, worked great as a replacement!)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup coconut oil room temp (softened not melted)
3/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter (no added oils)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips or carb chips
1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

DIRECTIONS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Mix everything together and roll into aprox 18 balls. These cookies don’t spread much so lightly press down on each ball. It also helps if your hands are slightly wet to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Bake at 350 for 9 minutes. For soft cookies, be careful not to overbake! They will firm up as they cool. Enjoy!
