Gluten-free Steel Cut Oats Lactation Cookies

Two days ago, my little guy hit the 3 month mark. He is exclusively breastfed, and up until this point I had a huge oversupply, so I froze any milk that I pumped after feedings for donating and future use. While I have an ample supply of milk for my little one, my pumping output was decreasing and my goal was to express enough to gift some of my "liquid gold" to multiple families...so I decided to venture into the lactation cookie arena in hopes to boost my supply a little.


When I searched online for the "perfect" lactation cookie recipe, I could not find one that fit my exact needs. Some contained fenugreek, which can be hard on the stomach and not effective unless you are consuming at least 1,160 mg of fenugreek 3x per day (I have read higher recommendations as well) in order to see a boost in supply. So any cookie recipe that I had found, did not contain  nearly enough fenugreek. Additionally, I wanted a recipe that was low in sugar and carbs (as I am trying to eat healthier, and I have not been exercising all that much...which I am working on correcting soon!), so I combined (and actually taste-tested myself!) my favorite recipes into one and includes 3 non-fenugreek galactagogues (substances that improves lactation): oats, flax, and brewers yeast.
