About our malt loaf recipe:

Sticky, sweet and perfect with a slather of butter, our malt loaf is absolutely perfect for a tea time treat. It's also a great pre-workout snack, and can be popped into tupperware for an easy packed lunch.

Malt's known for its energising properties, and it's a source of B vitamins, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin B6.
