Breastfeeding is HARD! I’ve been exclusively nursing for 4 months now and I’ve endured a ton of challenges along the way- mastitis, dip in milk supply, baby’s nursing strike- you name it! I’m not one to back away from a challenge and I’m thrilled to still be working on the whole breastfeeding thing!
Here is one of my favorite snacks to keep on hand- it has so many breastfeeding supportive ingredients, such as almond butter, oats and flax. These muffins are only sweetened by the bananas and chocolate chips, if using. For these I chose the California Gourmet 72% dark chocolate chunks, which have less sugar than the Enjoy Life chips.
One more thing to note- you don’t have to be a lactating mom to enjoy these! It’s a great anyone, anytime snack!
These treats are vegan, gluten free (just used certified gluten free oats) and naturally sweetened with bananas (no sugar or maple syrup!)
