These little treats are great for nursing mothers if you add the brewers yeast, but can also be modified to be extra fiber-licious if your kiddos (or you) ever struggle with regularity.
There are many versions of this recipe across the internet as well as on the back of the Trader Joe’s bag of flax seed so modify in whatever way works best for your taste and health needs at this time.
