Lactation Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Self-raising wholemeal flour
  (If you have plain flour, add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder)
• 1/2 Cup Organic virgin coconut oil
• ½ - ¾ Cup brown sugar (Depending on how sweet you prefer your biscuits)
• 2 Tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 1 Egg
• 2-3 Tablespoons of water
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract

• 1-2 Tablespoons of Brewer’s Yeast
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt

  Optional Extras I LOVED:
• Cranberries
• Coconut
• Sultanas
• Slithered Almonds
• Walnuts crumbled
• Chocolate or cocoa chips

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180-degree Celsius
• In a cup add the flaxseed meal and water, allow to sit whilst you measure and prepare the other ingredients.
• Measure your coconut oil and place in microwave until softened.
• In a large mixing bowl add the softened coconut oil and brown sugar, then add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
• Add the dry ingredients (excluding oats and optional extras) and mix well.
• Add the flaxseed meal and mix well.
• Stir in the oats and your optional ingredients.
• Use a dessert spoon as your guide, scoop the mixture and roll into a ball before placing it on a baking try lined with baking paper. Once placed evenly on the baking tray, flatten them with your fingers.
• Bake until golden brown. Approx. 20 minutes.
