👩‍🍳 How to Make Them

These cake batter bites come together in just minutes:

1. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and salt until smooth. IN a SEPARATE bowl, allow flaxseed and water to gel together.

2. Add dry ingredients: Fold in the oat flour, rolled oats, and collagen powder. Stir until a thick dough forms. You can use clean hands to help combine if needed.

3. Fold in sprinkles: Add a little fun! Stir in your sprinkles gently.

4. Roll into bites: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into bite-sized balls. You should get 18–24 bites depending on the size.

5. Chill and store: Place in a sealed container in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

🍼 Postpartum Nutrition Benefits

These bites aren’t just delicious—they’re filled with ingredients that support your healing, energy, and milk supply.

🌾 Oats for Lactation

• Supports milk production: Oats are naturally rich in iron, which helps replenish iron levels after birth—important for consistent milk supply.

• Contains plant-based saponins: These may boost prolactin levels, a hormone essential for lactation.

• Balances blood sugar: Oats provide long-lasting energy and help prevent crashes that can drain you emotionally and physically.

• Soothing and easy to digest: Gentle on the gut, oats are often used in postpartum healing diets across cultures.

🥜 Cashew Butter for Healing & Energy

• Hormone-supportive fats: The healthy monounsaturated fats in cashew butter help nourish your nervous system and keep you satisfied between meals.

• Rich in magnesium and zinc: These minerals support your mood, stress levels, and immune function—everything a new parent needs.

• Easy energy: Cashew butter provides a balanced source of protein, fat, and carbs for sustained nourishment.

• Gentle alternative: A great option if peanut butter feels too heavy or triggers sensitivities.

✏️ Tips & Variations

• Use almond or peanut butter if cashew butter isn’t available

• Add brewer’s yeast or ground flaxseed for extra lactation support

• Make it vegan by swapping collagen for plant-based protein powder

• Roll them in shredded coconut or extra sprinkles for a fun finish
