Lactation Baked Oatmeal
Lactation Baked Oatmeal combines rolled oats, brewer's yeast, and ground flaxseed with warming cinnamon, banana, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup and molasses. The addition of sesame seeds and coconut gives texture and nutritious elements. The oatmeal bakes to a golden, firm texture that can be portioned and served warm, offering a hearty and wholesome breakfast option that supports lactation.
