The Importance of Nutrition While Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is beautiful, but it’s also energetically demanding. Your body is working around the clock to nourish another human, meaning the foods you choose to consume can make a big impact. Foods containing galactagogues such as oats, brewer’s yeast, and fenugreek are frequently included in a breastfeeding brownies recipe because they can help support milk production while offering steady energy. [1] Pairing these ingredients with something as comforting as a warm brownie creates a truly mom-friendly treat that feels both beneficial and satisfying.
How to Level Up Boxed Brownies for Breastfeeding Moms
By choosing purposeful, nutrient-friendly add-ins, you can transform any boxed mix into an intentional lactation brownies recipe that supports both flavor and function. A warm brownie (and maybe a cozy mug of Dandy Blend) can be a sweet, grounding moment in the busy rhythm of breastfeeding.
1. Brewer’s Yeast for B Vitamins
A common ingredient in lactation brownies recipes is brewer’s yeast. This is thought to be because it offers B-vitamins and minerals that support energy levels—something every new mom needs. [2] While mostly undetectable, brewer’s yeast can add a subtle nutty flavor to brownies.
2. Ground Fenugreek for Production
This seed offers an earthy, slightly sweet addition to brownies, and can offer a boost your body needs for around-the-clock feedings. One study found that fenugreek significantly increased the amount of breast milk produced. [3]
3. Dandy Blend for Depth
Instant coffee powder is a common chocolate dessert add-in. Instead, opt for caffeine-free Dandy Blend. Simply stir in one to two tablespoons of Dandy Blend to the wet ingredients to help amplify the chocolate flavor with a warm, roasted profile.
4. Rolled Oats for Feel-Good Effects
Oats are a classic galactagogue moms often reach for when trying to support breast milk production. This may be due to the iron content or the feel-good effects of a hearty serving of oats. [4] Anything that helps mom relax may support milk flow. Rolled oats also add a subtle chewiness that makes brownies feel heartier and satiating.
5. Extras for Fun
Not every ingredient needs to be a heavy hitter. Adding in a serving of dark chocolate chips, walnuts, or shredded coconut can provide small boosts that offer big flavor upgrades. Plus, they all pair well with a tall glass of Dandy Blend.
