Breastfeeding Friendly Honey Roasted Peanuts
Crunchy, golden, and glazed with just enough honey to make them dangerously snackable, these roasted peanuts are the kind of treat you'll find yourself reaching for all day long. Peanuts are a fantastic source of protein and healthy fats, both of which are genuinely useful when your body is working overtime to produce milk. The simple coating of honey, butter, and a touch of sugar caramelizes in the oven into a satisfying crunch that feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. A pinch of cayenne is optional, so you can keep things mild or add a little kick depending on your mood — either way, the result is completely addictive. Making them at home means you know exactly what's in every bite, with no mystery additives or preservatives to second-guess. Let them cool fully so the glaze sets into that perfect crackling shell, then break apart the clusters and try not to eat them all before they make it to a bowl.
