Ingredients

  • 2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Pure Honey
  • 1/2 cup Chia Seeds or Ground Flaxseeds
  • 1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 4 tbsp Brewer's Yeast

Instructions

  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
