Oat Cookie Recipe to Support Breastfeeding

Support breastfeeding in the tastiest way, with oat cookies and a cup of Milk's Up tea

To accompany your Milk's Up breastfeeding tea  – get baking. Try these oat cookies as they’re super easy and tasty. 

Oats are a natural galactagogue like fenugreek, fennel and anise - the key ingredients in our nursing tea.  So eating these is a great thing to do to boost or support milk supply.

INGREDIENTS

120g butter

2 tablespoons honey

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

120g plain flour

120g brown sugar

180g porridge oats

1. Melt butter with honey in a saucepan gently
2. Take off the heat and mix in 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and oats
4. Add the honey mix to this
5. Stir and leave to cool for 5 minutes once it is all well combined
6. Place 12 piles of the mix on a buttered baking tray and cook for 10-15 min
7. Let them cool, and they turn into slightly hard, chewy biscuits

You can add chocolate chips, raisins, or anything else you fancy.  But they’re a crowd pleaser, and a wee treat goes a long way in times of stress and uncertainty.  Perfect with a cup of our Milk's Up Breastfeeding Tea.
