What we eat matters, and when baby’s on board, the responsibility to eat well is two-fold. Brand new mama, Laurel Gallucci of Sweet Laurel Bakery, makes our favorite grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free baked goodies (see them all here) and created these breakfast muffins to deliver a dose of real nutrition for new mamas. Even if you’re not preggo, this clean breakfast is the perfect grab-and-go for mornings on the fly…
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 other foods! Flax, sesame, carrots, nuts and ginger are also helpful! I figured I’d make a muffin combining them. Hope you enjoy. And P.S. these are super easy to prepare – so very new-mom friendly!
