Chocolate Malted Muffins

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

This muffin highlights the malted milk flavor by combining malted milk powder with barley flour and whole wheat. Malt is also made from barley flour and is a natural fit in this recipe. This muffin recipe is not-too-sweet and nicely balances the flavors of chocolate and malt. The occasional nugget of melted chocolate from the chips is a nice touch.
