Pumpkin Spice Lactation Cookies

Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with Pumpkin Spice. I know, so #basic. I also happen to have a 7 week old that wants to breastfeed non-stop! This recipe is the best way for me to get my Pumpkin Spice fix and keep up my  milk production. Oats, Flaxseed, and Brewer’s Yeast are all key ingredients to help increase your milk supply.

I have been pumping once a day to make a little stash for when I go back to work, and after having these cookies my production literally DOUBLED! The cookies are so delicious I have a hard time keeping them from the hubby. And no, they won’t make him produce milk!! I added chocolate chips to the recipe which I definitely recommend!

Brewer’s Yeast can be found in health food stores or bought on Amazon! I have linked it here.
