Emily is sharing her recipe for pumpkin spice lactation cookies that include with whole oats, brewer’s yeast, and flax meal to provide your body needed nutrients to support lactation.

Pumpkin Spice Lactation Cookies recipe with whole oats, brewer’s yeast, and flax meal to provide your body needed nutrients to support lactation.

Maintaining an adequate milk supply can be a difficult task for some breastfeeding mothers. I agonized over this with my first child when the time came for me to return to work. Pumping just a few ounces at a time was not easy, and the daycare needed two or three full bottles every day.  I’d suck down tons of water and bought tea with fenugreek in hopes of boosting my supply. While this helped, the bitter maple-like taste of the tea was not pleasant.

I wish someone would have told me back then that there are alternatives.   Tastier alternatives that are easy to make right in your own kitchen! Whole oats, brewer’s yeast, and flax meal also provide your body with much needed vitamins and minerals necessary for supporting lactation. The Brewer’s Yeast and flax meal can also be disguised easily in foods such as baked goods.

Instead of forcing down that fenugreek tea, try indulging yourself a little with this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Lactation Cookies. They include some of the traditional ingredients you would find in a pumpkin pie and that powerhouse of whole oats, Brewer’s yeast, and flax meal. Want to experiment a little? You can even try adding in chopped nuts or white chocolate chips!

    Do these hold up in a freezer and then defrosted later?

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
