Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, creamy peanut butter, and pure honey. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The oats, peanut butter, and honey form a cohesive dough.

  2. 2

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chia seeds or ground flaxseeds, and pure vanilla extract until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chips and seeds are spread evenly through the mixture.

  3. 3

    Add the brewer's yeast to the dough and mix until it is fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chilled dough is firm enough to shape cleanly.

  5. 5

    Once the dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should end up with around 36 balls.

  6. 6

    Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to set.

  7. 7

    Serve the no-bake lactation cookies chilled, straight from the refrigerator. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze them for up to 2 months.

  8. 8

    If freezing, simply place the cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container and store in the freezer. When you're ready to eat one, simply thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Tips while you cook
