Recipe Summary Vegan Gluten-Free Lactation Cookies

These cookies are a delicious and healthy option for the breastfeeding mother who may need a vegan or gluten-free alternative to traditional lactation cookies. Using organic and natural ingredients would be in line with the spirit of this recipe.

Ingredients | Gluten Free Frosted Animal Cookies

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained

½ cup peanut butter

¼ cup packed brown sugar replacement (such as Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

⅛ teaspoon salt

½ cup chocolate chips (Optional)

½ cup gluten-free rolled oats

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal

1 tablespoon brewer's yeast

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Blend garbanzo beans in a food processor until chopped into very small pieces; transfer to a large bowl and add peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir mixture until ingredients are incorporated into a dough-like substance. Fold chocolate chips, oats, flaxseed meal, and brewer's yeast into the bean mixture.

Drop rounded spoonfuls of the 'dough' onto prepared sheet. Flatten cookies somewhat with the back of a spoon.

Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 20 minutes.

Some vegans don't consider sugar or Splenda(R) to be truly vegan. You can sub 1/4 cup raw honey or molasses for sweetness instead of sugar. Sub raisins for chocolate chips.

You can also sub 1/2 cup organic coconut oil or any nut butter for the peanut butter.

Flax seeds and brewer's yeast are what make these lactation cookies in addition to the oats.
