Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups robin egg malted milk balls, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is shiny and slightly thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the lightly crushed robin egg malted milk balls, reserving a few whole ones to press on top.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and press the reserved malt balls lightly on the surface.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

To keep malt balls crunchy, fold them in gently at the end or sprinkle on top halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Dairy-free butter can be used for a lighter version. Avoid overmixing to maintain chewiness.
