How to make Malz Brownies

Use A metal Baking pan

I strongly recommend using a light metal baking pan when baking brownies. This is my favorite 8-inch metal pan. Avoid dark metal pans because they can heat too aggressively and cause dry, baked edges.

I do not recommend using glass, ceramic or silicone baking pans for brownies. These materials also do not conduct warmth and can cause dry edges, underdone gummy bear centers and take baking longer. Just have a look at our side-by-side experiment brownies below is the same recipe that was baked at the same temperature and time, only in a different pan!

The malt milk powder

The star ingredient in Malz Brownies! I recommend King Arthur malt milk powder. You can also use Nestle Carnation malt milk powder, which can be found in most supermarkets through the can milk in the baking or tea and coffee. We did not test with chocolate milk powder in this recipe.

Can I skip the malt milk powder?

If you don’t have a malt milk powder, try out my brown brown browns.

With powdered sugar in Brownies using powder

In my experiments for the manufacture of brownies with a shiny thin crust articles, I discovered that the use of powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar creates a beautifully shiny, bustling crust. The finer texture of powdered sugar dissolves more easily in the dough and gives this perfect finish.

Instead, you can use a granulated sugar (you need 1 1/4 cups or 250 grams), note that the texture and appearance are different.

I also suggest avoiding organic sugar. The thicker consistency will make the already thick dough difficult. Save this to make extremely velvety butter cream instead!

The cocoa powder

I recommend using natural (unsweetened) cocoa powder for this recipe to complement the malt for this nostalgic taste profile. We used Ghirardelli Premium Backkakaopulver And Penzys Hochfettes Natural cocoa powder during the test (the Peney’s provides Ultra moisture Brownies!). However, since this recipe does not contain a sourdough, you can also use cocoa powder with Dutch -processed cocoa powder. Just note that the brownies have a little darker in color and taste.

Find out more about the difference between the Dutch processed cocoa powder and natural cocoa powder.

Corn starch in Brownies?

Don’t skip the corn starch! It is important to create a shiny crust and helps to imitate the tough texture of Box -Mix -Brownies. I have not found a good replacement for corn starch, but if you experiment, let me know how to do the comments below!
