In the world of school bake sales, every parent has faced a moment of panic—whether it’s not knowing what to bake, lacking the baking skills, or simply forgetting that the event is happening until they see other parents displaying their goodies. One mother, however, took a rather unconventional approach that left many scratching their heads.
This particular mom, who remains anonymous, found herself short on milk and thought, “Why not use my own?” Yes, she decided to incorporate her breast milk into her brownie recipe. In her mind, it was a clever solution—after all, she reasoned, “Some of those kids could use the nutrition.” But when other parents learned of her ingredient choice, chaos ensued. In search of advice, she turned to Facebook, posting, “I made brownies for my school bake sale that had breast milk in them. I didn’t have time to run to the store and didn’t think it was a big deal.”
Her post quickly attracted attention, generating 246 comments in just over half an hour, as reported by Fox News. The Facebook page Sanctimommy even shared a snapshot of her post, leading to widespread concern about future bake sales.
While the idea of using breast milk in baked goods raises eyebrows, the outrage stemmed not just from the ingredient itself, but also from the mom’s dismissive attitude toward potential health risks. As it turns out, we are more disturbed by the revelation that brownies actually require milk than by the breast milk usage.
Reactions Varied Widely
Reactions varied widely, from sarcastic remarks to outright fury:
- “It’s like when I once made lemonade with my own urine because I was too lazy to fetch water. I mean, it was the best pee ever, so why the fuss?”
- “Honestly, I sneak breast milk into muffins and pancakes to keep my adult kids healthy. They’re in their 20s but I’m not giving up those nutrients!”
- “She wasted that precious milk on sugary brownies? She should’ve gone for kale smoothies instead!”
- “This is borderline criminal! Breast milk can carry diseases, and feeding it to kids without their parents’ knowledge is just plain wrong.”
According to the Food and Drug Administration, using human milk from sources other than the baby’s own mother carries health risks, including potential exposure to infections or contaminants. So, it’s probably best to avoid slipping your bodily fluids into baked goods for unsuspecting recipients.
