As a new mom, I want to eat the best foods for lactation! Water, water, water is great I hear, but there are so many delicious foods as well. Flax, sesame, carrots, nuts and ginger are also helpful agents in increasing milk supply. I figured I’d make a muffin combining them. Hope you enjoy! PS- these are a super healthy breakfast muffin even if you are not a nursing mama!
