Easy Recipe For Malt Loaf

Ingredients

This malt loaf is made with a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. You will need: 250g (8.8 ounces) of plain flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 50g (1.7 ounces) of malt extract, 50g (1.7 ounces) of soft brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 150ml (5.1 fluid ounces) of semi-skimmed milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 170°C (325°F) and line a loaf tin with baking paper. In a large bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the malt extract, soft brown sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract and mix until all the ingredients are combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Serving

Allow the malt loaf to cool in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve the malt loaf in thick slices, spread with butter or jam, or enjoy as is. You can also add a drizzle of golden syrup or honey if desired.
