Small and quick to eat, these Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Lactation Cookies are loaded with texture from the walnuts, oats and chocolate and contain a significant amount of fibre with their almond flour content. Plus, they have two galactagogues, oats and flax seeds, which promote breast milk production. These bite-sized cookies are a tasty sweet treat for those who are and are not lactating, so you may want to hide them!
