Oatmeal Raisin Lactation Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Oatmeal Raisin Lactation Cookies by Ashley of MyHeartBeets.com

These oatmeal raisin cookies are the perfect wintertime (lactation) snack! They’re made with warming spices, and three ingredients thought to help boost milk supply: gluten-free rolled oats, Brewer’s yeast, and flaxseed meal.

For any moms out there who might be sensitive to oats: you can use gluten-free rolled oats (you can find them at Trader Joe’s or whole foods). If you can’t eat oats, then try my paleo n’oatmeal raisin cookies! Just add a little Brewer’s yeast and flaxseed meal to make them “lactation cookies” 🙂

I’ve been all about lactation recipes lately -have you seen my recipe for paleo lactation mithai or lactation bars? I think they’re a great way to provide new mommas with the energy they need during what can be an exhausting time.

I love how much these cookies remind me of the holiday season. The toasty oats, chewy raisins, and sweet spices are perfect for this time of year. Nursing mommas definitely deserve to indulge in healthy holiday treats now and then, so if you know any new moms – make them a batch of these cookies 🙂

    Love these! They are a staple when I am nursing. I love that I can have cookies that help my milk supply but are still healthy! When I’m eating cookies every day it’s great to know they are healthy. I have made it with just chocolate chips, and with combinations of Choc chips, raisins, and chopped nuts. I have used almond butter, peanut butter, or a combination. Always delicious! Thank you!

    This recipe is easy and delicious. I did use regular sugar and butter instead of coconut and they still turned out amazing. It’s still too early to tell if they have helped my milk production but they sure taste great!

    I’m due in October and I will make as these soon as it cools off enough to turn on the oven 🙂

    I love your recipes! I’d like to request some freezer meals please

    • My Heart Beets says

      Kate, how exciting, congratulations!! I hope you love these cookies 🙂 I’ll work on making more freezer meals – I’ve been meaning to do so!

      Here are a few recipes that I often cook and then freeze if you want to try them too: carnitas, ropa vieja, chili (makes a lot).
