Gluten-Free Lactation Bars

This is for my breastfeeding mamas! But honestly, they are amazing even if you aren't breastfeeding, you can just omit the brewer's yeast. My friend made these for me when I was postpartum and I loved them so much and had to get the recipe from her, so thank you to my friend Taylor! These bars are so easy to make but also packed with tons of nutrients to help support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding. They are a great quick snack or dessert to have on hand!
