Paleo Lactation Cookie RecipeGrain-Free, Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free, Sugar-Free, Peanut-Free (contains tree nuts) Ingredients 1/2 C coconut oil, liquified* 1/4 C maple syrup 4 eggs 1 Tbsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp anise seed, ground (we used a coffee grinder on whole seeds) 2 C almond flour 1/2 C flax meal (we used a coffee grinder on flax seeds) 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 C macadamia nuts, chopped 1/2 C walnuts, chopped 1/2 C dates, chopped 1 C dark chocolate chips or chunks Optional: 2 tsp Fenugreek ground or powder from capsules** Instructions Whisk together syrup and oil Add eggs and whisk in one at a time Add anise and vanilla (as well as fenugreek if using) In separate bowl, combine flour, flax, and baking soda Slowly add dry ingredients to wet as you beat or mix to combine Fold in nuts, chocolate and dates Spoon one tablespoon of batter onto greased or lined cookie sheet Bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes until top just starts to brown Makes a whopping 36 cookies – but they freeze well if you don’t need that many *The original recipe called for flax oil but with concern over oxidation leading to toxicity in the oil, we’ve revised it to liquified coconut oil.*Please note, Fenugreek is an derived from the same family as peanuts and chick peas – therefore, it’s not technically Paleo. However, if you are having extreme issues with your milk supply I would recommend it above Brewer’s Yeast or Oats, which are not gluten-free. My recommendation would be to try these cookies (you need extra calories while nursing, go ahead and eat them!) while drinking Mother’s Milk and Red Raspberry tea as often as you possibly can (3-4 cups of each per day is what I would drink) and see if that helps before trying Fenugreek.
