Healthy Lactation Brownies (No Oil, Butter or Eggs)

August 15th, 2017 | Posted by Milana in Dessert | Recipes

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
1-1/4 cup evaporated cane sugar (if you like your brownies a little sweeter, add an additional 1/4 cup)
2 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
5 Tbsp Brewer's Yeast (I bought mine from Amazon)
1 -1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 -1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup applesauce
2-3 Tbsp Water
2 cups finely shredded zucchini (about 2 medium)*
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)

*Note: If you have picky children that will not eat these if they see any green specs from the zucchini; peel the zucchini, and purée them instead of shredding them. Guaranteed to fool the most pickiest person.

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 350F. Grease 2 8×8 baking pans with cooking spray if you're looking for thick brownies or a 9×13 if looking for regular brownies. I used coconut oil cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients. Then add wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Mix in chocolate chunks. Do not over mix or it will result in tough Brownies. Pour into baking pan and spread evenly with spatula. Sprinkle just a few more chocolate chunks on top. If using 8×8 pan size. Bake for 35-40 min. If using 9×13, bake 25-30 min or until tester comes out clean when poked in the center of the brownies.

Lactation Brownies are healthy for everyone regardless if breastfeeding or not. After consuming one piece about 7 hours before pumping, I noticed a 1.5 ounce increase in milk production.

Makes 32 servings.
