Toasted & Malted Wheat Flakes, 500g

Toasted & Malted Wheat Flakes 500g

Toasted and malted wheatflakes are made from whole wheat grains that have been malted (allowed to germinate briefly), then dried, rolled into flakes, and toasted. Malting develops natural sugars and flavour; toasting adds colour and crunch.

Flavour & texture

Warm, nutty and lightly sweet, with a mild malty note. Crisp when dry; soften quickly when soaked or baked into recipes.

Common culinary uses

• Breakfast cereals – eaten with milk, yoghurt, or plant milks
• Baking – breads, granola bars, flapjacks, biscuits
• Toppings – sprinkled over yoghurt, fruit, or desserts
• Binding & bulk – used in veggie burgers or stuffings

They provide structure and crunch rather than strong flavour.

Using toasted & malted wheatflakes

• As cereal: serve plain or lightly sweetened
• In baking: replace some flour or oats for texture
• For crunch: lightly toast again in the oven for extra crispness
• Balancing sweetness: pairs well with honey, fruit, or spices

Tip: Keep dry — wheatflakes absorb moisture quickly and lose crunch.

Nutritional & practical benefits

(Nutritional information — not medical advice)

• Wholegrain wheat – contains bran and germ
• Source of fibre – supports digestion
• Malted grain – more digestible than raw wheat
• Slow-release carbohydrates – steady energy
• Contains B vitamins – developed during malting

Because they contain wheat, they do contain gluten.

Classic pairings

• Milk, yoghurt, kefir
• Honey or malt extract
• Dried fruit (raisins, dates)
• Nuts and seeds
• Cinnamon or nutmeg
