What are pregnancy cookies!Are they to help you get pregnant, or to eat while you are pregnant!

Lol!They are meant to be for when you are pregnant, bit better than your standard biscuit I guess.

Start with an Anzac Biscuit recipe, or something similar and change one ingredient at a time til you get the biscuit that tastes and looks like the one you want. For instance, you could add some of the seeds, and swap some of the butter for coconut oil, and some of the flour for buckwheat flour. Substitute your salt for ordinary salt (though I doubt it would make a lot of difference - it's only a pinch, after all). Cinnamon or ginger could go in any time. and Anzac Biscuits have bicarb in them, anyway. Another biscuit worth looking at would be a digestive-type biscuit, or savoury crackers.

Having a few seeds and so on in it is negated by the sugar.

Being preganant I would eat normal food: meat, fish, eggs, lots of vegetables and some fruit, nuts and dairy if it agrees with you.
I would NOT eat any of the above.

When I was pregnant, and the morning sickness lasted most of the day and for the first five months, I ate anything, and I mean anything at all that I could keep down.It wasn't long after thalidomide had been found to be the cause of so many birth defects, so there was no way I was taking any medication to stop the sickness, so I lived on things like French fries when I fancied them, fried egg sandwiches, and plates full of runner beans - not all at once, with the occasional "normal meal" when I felt okay.After six months I only had the morning sickness in the evenings.Being pregnant wasn't much fun for me, but at least I was only in labour two and a half hours.

Could make some sort of variation on a birdseed slice or energy slice - you could start with these and then play around with the ingredients
Racheee, are you gluten-free ! I have areally good slice recipe containing similar ingredients which I can post if you would like it.

With all due respect, Uli, I was not asking for "eating during pregnancy" advice, but advice with a recipe.Thank you.
