Whip up these delicious and nutritious lactation bites in minutes. Oats are a key ingredient in these bites for their potential to increase milk supply, aka "glactogogues". Also a great source of iron, oats are beneficial for mamas experiencing low iron during pregnancy and after childbirth. Low iron in the body can reduce milk supply! Eat 'em up, mama!
Ingredients
-
1 cup Oats (quick or traditional)
-
1/4 cup Ground Flax Seed
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Almond Butter
-
2 tbsps Dark Grade Maple Syrup
- 1 Apple (peeled, cored and finely diced)
Directions
Combine oats, ground flaxseed and cinnamon together in a bowl. Mix well. Add almond butter, maple syrup and diced apples. Mix well again.
Roll the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. Wet hands before rolling to prevent sticking.
Place the bites on a plate and let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm. Then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
- Vegan friendly
- Nut-Free - use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter
- Substitute honey for maple syrup if you've got it on hand
