PB Oatmeal Monster (Lactation) Cookies

 *If you're not a breastfeeding mama then just leave out the brewer's yeast. You can also leave out or reduce the flax but it's got fiber and healthy fats and I kind of like the taste! Brewer's yeast is definitely bitter so it wouldn't be missed :) 


Peanut Butter Oatmeal Monster Lactation Cookies

Cream together in a stand mixer: 

1 c (2 sticks) butter

1 c brown sugar

1/2 c granulated sugar

then add

2 eggs, mix in one at a time

2 tsp vanilla extract


Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl:


2 to 2.5 c of oats -- Rolled Oats, Quick Oats or a mixture of both all work fine.

1 1/2 c all purpose flour

2 Tbs PB2 (powdered peanut butter)

1/4 c brewer's yeast

3 Tbs Ground flaxseed

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix wet and dry ingredients together and then fold in:

1 c chocolate chips 

1 c peanut butter M&Ms


Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. I thought they tasted best after being in the fridge or freezer after baking!
