We're hooked on this easy-to-find, easier-to-use ingredient that's adding a rich toffee flavor to our favorite desserts.
The blend of concentrated grain extracts gives malted milk powder a roasted, toasty, earthy flavor, while the powdered milk adds a bit of creamy richness. In the oven, the extra lactose helps baked goods brown, while also lending a cooked-milk flavor along the lines of butterscotch or toffee. Finally, the salt and sodium bicarbonate in the mix add a savory edge to the whole shebang, tempering the sweetness of any recipe and giving it a bit more depth of flavor.
To make use of malted milk powder at home, add it to taste in your favorite cookie doughs, cake batters, ice creams, and custards . It can even be added to bread dough to improve browning and flavor in recipes with a short fermentation period. The only real precaution you should take is to remember that it does contain added sodium, so you may need to cut back on the salt.*Malted chocolate chip cookies.
Due to the wheat and barley extracts, malted milk powder isn't suitable for those on a gluten-free diet, and, of course, the powdered milk makes it non-vegan; even if those ingredients are fine for you, it's worth making a mental note for those times when you bake for friends. For both vegans and celiacs, a good alternative to malted milk powder is, a type of roasted soy flour found in Japanese markets.
That said, in my heart, there's no replacement for malted milk powder and its sweet-and-savory mix of milky, butterscotch-y flavor. You can find it next to other instant drinks like hot cocoa in supermarkets, or buy your favorite brands online. All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors.
