Gluten Free Lactation Cookies
These Gluten Free Lactation Cookies are a nursing mom's best friend. Packed with nutrient-rich flaxseed and oats, these cookies help keep a new mom fueled throughout the day. They are simple to put together and free from gluten, refined sugars, eggs, and dairy.
Servings: 20
Ingredients
- ¼ cup flax seed
- ½ cup water
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- ¾ cup coconut sugar
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup 120 grams oat flour
- ¼ cup brewer’s yeast see note
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips more as desired
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add flaxseed and water to a bowl, and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken up. Add the remainder of the ingredients to the bowl and mix together.
- Scoop dough into balls about 2 tablespoons in size and place on baking sheet about 1-½” apart. Gently press down on the dough to flatten it.
- Bake in the preheated oven in the middle rack for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are set. The cookie will still be soft when hot.
- Remove to a cooling rack and let cool at least 1 hour to allow them to finish setting up.
Notes
- If you are gluten-intolerant, make sure to look for gluten-free rolled oats and oat flour, as well as gluten-free brewer’s yeast.
- If you want to skip the brewer’s yeast, increase the oat flour by 1 tablespoon.
- We preferred these cookies baked at 10 minutes, for a slightly "underbaked" cookie. If you prefer your cookies more set, bake for the full 15 minutes.
