Cocoa muffin without cocoa powder

Formulation reference: FOOD_EMEA_TR_0004

Cocoa powder shortages stem from climate change, crop diseases, and fluctuating global demand, leading to price surges and limited availability. This has driven food manufacturers to explore innovative solutions like malt-based formulations, which offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative while maintaining the expected sensory experience. In response to the growing scarcity of cocoa powder due to supply chain constraints and increased demand, alternative ingredients such as malt extract have been explored to replicate the characteristic taste, color, and texture of cocoa-based baked goods. This malt-based muffin delivers a deep, rich flavor with caramelized notes, a moist crumb, and a visually appealing brown hue—closely mimicking traditional cocoa muffins. The natural enzymatic reactions in malt contribute to an enhanced Maillard reaction during baking, improving the depth of color and flavor complexity.
