Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup brewer’s yeast (essential for milk boost)
- 1/2 cup creamy nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, honey, or agave
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup add-ins: mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped dried fruit (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
Instructions
- 1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flaxseed meal, brewer’s yeast, and any optional dry add-ins (like chocolate chips or coconut).
- 2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, stir together the nut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt (if using) until smooth.
- 3. Integrate & Chill: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or your hands until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to firm up.
- 4. Roll into Balls: Once chilled, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball between your palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 5. Store: Store the finished lactation balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
