Everyone tells you how ravenous newborns are, but no one fills you in on how hungry you’ll be as a breastfeeding mama. A friend told me about special lactation foods that are supposed to increase your milk supply. Some of them, like brewer’s yeast, coconut, oatmeal, and flax seed, are perfect for baking. I don’t know if these foods have been officially and scientifically proven to increase milk production, but I decided to believe the rumor and use it as a good excuse to eat more baked goods.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Dry Ingredients 🔥Lightly toast the brewer's yeast, ground flax, and oatmeal in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavors and reduce any bitter notes that could affect the muffin taste.
- Soak Raisins for Moisture 💧Plump up your raisins by soaking them in warm milk or water for 15 minutes before adding to the batter, ensuring moist, tender muffins that stay fresh longer.
- Use Both Fats for Texture 🧈Combine butter and coconut oil in your recipe—the butter provides richness while coconut oil creates a tender crumb and adds the lactation-boosting benefits you're seeking.
- Room Temperature Eggs Blend Better 🥚Remove eggs from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to ensure they blend smoothly with wet ingredients, creating a more uniform batter and consistent muffin texture.
- Fill Muffin Cups Strategically 🥄Distribute walnuts and raisins evenly between cups before adding batter, then top with batter rather than stirring them in, preventing settling and ensuring every muffin has an equal share of nutritious mix-ins.
