If you're anything like me you have a sweet tooth, and when you're breastfeeding it's important to incorporate oats as often as possible, so making desserts with oats has become a passion. I reached out to my grandma if she knew of something I could make with no eggs and no milk since we're in an ice storm and have absolutely no money till Friday. She gave me a recipe she's had for years and I thought I would tweak it to make it more breast milk friendly and it came out tasting exactly like the lactation cookies from milk makers.
