A few weeks ago, I shared my experience with breastfeeding Paisley! At 3.5 months, we are still exclusively breastfeeding, which is a huge personal accomplishment for me. This hasn't been the easiest journey! I know that we will make it to the four month mark, and I am really hopeful that we can make it to six months! I don't have the best milk supply, so I made some More Milk Cookies (also known as lactation cookies) to help with that. But I wanted a healthier alternative - one that I could eat for breakfast (and not feel guilty about)! So I came up with these delicious breakfast bars!
Your Shopping List for More Milk Breakfast Bars:
- 2 tbsp milled flax seed
- 4 tbsp water
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (I use King Arthur brand white whole wheat flour)
- 1,2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp brewers yeast powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Now Let's Make the More Milk Breakfast Bars:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan with butter or nonstick spray
- In a small bowl, combine the milled flax seed and water - set aside
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy
- Beat in the egg and vanilla
- Beat in the flax seed mixture
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, brewers yeast, and cinnamon
- Add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until combined
- Beat in the oats on lowest speed until combined
- Beat in the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips until just distributed evenly throughout the dough
- Press dough into prepared pan and bake in your preheated oven for 25 - 30 minutes until edges are lightly browned and the center is set
- Allow pan to cool completely (at least an hour) before cutting into 24 squares
- Store in an airtight container
In addition to making and eating these delicious More Milk Breakfast Bars, I am also taking a wonderful supplement called Lactation Boost from The Honest Company! The combination of these two things have boosted my milk supply and allowed me to build a great freezer stash!
You can order the Lactation Boost on its own or you can add Lactation Boost to a Health and Wellness Bundle from The Honest Company with another vitamin (like their PreNatal Vitamin) to save money! !
