It works!
First, let me just say that these brownies work! I had tried another brand's pre-made lactation cookies, and while they helped to increase my supply, these brownies helped my supply almost double overnight; I was consistently getting almost 1 oz in the evening, almost 4 oz in my first pump of the day, and it jumped to 3 oz in the evening, and 5-8.5 oz for my first pump of the day. Could be that my supply finally caught up with my baby, but I have noticed my supply dipping a little when I eat less of the brownies, and going back up when I eat more of it.In terms of flavor/texture, I was a little put off initially because it was very thick prior to baking, and I wasn't sure that I baked it fully because it was so fudge-y. I also thought that it was a bit too sweet, but my taste buds caught up, and I now enjoy having a piece or two whenever I'm in the mood to snack.Finally, I was a bit disappointed at first that one bag only bakes one batch. The bag says that it makes about 21 servings, but also suggests 1-2 brownies per day, so it should last anywhere between 10 days to 21 days (if you're being conservative). I've eaten almost the whole thing in one week. For $15, I was really hoping for more--although $2/day doesn't seem too bad. Definitely buying another bag just in case since it works so well, but also going to have to try my hand at making lactation brownies by adding the key ingredients listed (brewers yeast, oats, flaxseed) to another brownie mix because it's more cost-effective.

YUMMY AND ACTUALLY HELPS!!
Bought one bag of the Double Chocolate flavor. At first I was skeptical, but I’m glad I tried it out!- easy to make and quick- added some almond milk to mine because I like my brownies a little bit fluffy so had to bake a little longer but was still good- when I first tasted them, it tasted like a protein brownie and didn’t really like but the next day I tasted them and it was waaaay better taste wise. So I recommend making them before bed and letting them sit overnight in a nice airtight container on counter to get that nice chocolate taste- before I was pumping about 18oz a day and after eating about 1-2 brownies a day I went up to 24oz and it was only within a day of eating them.- I feel like I can make them on my own, but since I’m not much of a baker, I find it worth paying $15 for a batch of brownies (made about 16 brownies).

Tasty Chocolate Treat
A lot of reviews mentioned these brownies needing adjustments but I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect! Slightly crisp edges and a fudge, soft center with lots of chocolate flavor.I used vegetable oil instead of butter and mixed the wet ingredients before slowly adding the dry ingredients. I whisked all the ingredients together but it was super thick so I had to use a silicone spatula to fold the rest of the dry mix into the batter.I used Pam Original (canola oil spray) to grease the metal pan before pouring the batter into the metal 9"×13" pan. After baking for 20mins on the middle rack of my Ninja convection oven/air fryer, the brownies were ready to cool off. As pictured, the batter was already starting to crisp up on the edges and rise a bit at the 10min mark. The final product yields about 16-20 treats, depending on how big you divide up the pan. The brownies were just under 1" thickness and didn't rise up much after baking compared to the uncooked batter.[I saw that some ladies used glass bakeware which probably attribute to needing a longer bake time since the glass takes longer to heat up than a metal one. Also, if you use a smaller pan, your brownies will be thicker but will need to be baked for a few extra minutes.]Overall, the brownies are delicious and moist. They didn't rise up to be as thick as I would like but it's not a big deal.The brownies are definitely a very dark brown and not as appetizing as the ones photographed on the bag but I can assure you that it tastes yummy for any lady wanting a chocolate treat while working to increase their milk supply.It's only the first day of trying these brownies but I hope it supports my lactation like the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies did in my last review. Regardless, it's a delicious snack without too much guilt.Good Luck and Happy Breastfeeding!

Really Yummy!
I normally make my own lactation bars but I wanted something more convenient for travel over the holidays. These taste just like normal boxes brownies! They have a really good texture as well. I feel like they work about as well as the one I make myself. The batter was pretty dark which made it a little tricky to tell when it was done but the toothpick test worked fine. They are a little expensive but the convenience is worth it.

Good, but expensive for what you get.
These brownies taste good, but they aren’t the best brownie mix available (compared to non lactation types). The mix is rather pricey and it doesn’t make a huge batch. On the plus side, I definitely notice an increase in my milk supply when I eat these daily. However, that has been my experience with all the lactation cookies/brownies I’ve ever had.

Would recommend if you can afford it.
Texture is a little different if you're used to box mix brownies from the store, however the taste was better than what i could make from scratch! Very much thick brownie like, which is good since i don't like my brownies to be cake like. Price wise i was sceptical at first because i don't have much money to spare but i was desperate and needed to try something to up my supply. My baby is 10 months and i was put on some medication that was supposed to lower my supply. Also my baby wasn't sleeping through the night and or doctor suggested giving her more milk or formula. It's a little late to introduce my baby to formula so i was looking for options to help with my milk supply. Without the brownies i got about half an ounce worth a pump. Now just about 4-5 days in from when i started eating 2 brownies a day im pumping about 1 and a half ounces. I would order again.My only dislike is that I am a Wic mom and my budget is super tight. I wish this type of product is more easily affordable for Wic moms like me struggling with their milk supply.
