Formula-infused baked goods
Formula-infused baked goods, such as muffins, are modern pastries that incorporate infant formula or specialized nutritional powders into traditional batter. They typically feature ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and oil, with the addition of formula powder for a nutritional boost. This concept is a contemporary, often home-baker innovation, not tied to a specific traditional cuisine.
