What's a good substitute for "Malted Milk Powder?"

I'm working on adapting a recipe that calls for malted milk powder (e.g. Carnation brand). The restriction is a gluten allergy. Malt is generally always malted barley, so naturally it's a no-go.

For the curious, I'm working on a particular kind of cake-y cookie. Yes, I'll post about it if/when it's successful, or if it's a comical failure.

Quick update on this for the curious. I subbed out light brown sugar for dark brown sugar and subbed out 1/3 of it for Punjabi shakkar (a type of jaggery) and that seems to have worked beautifully.

@emily_rugburn
They are delicious! I had to stop myself from eating too many so I have enough for giving away.  
@h3mmy oh heck yes! 😋

They came out really nice, and I am going to give a chunk of this batch to my neighbors (lesbian elders). I'm going to have to make more of these.

I'll post a recipe on here probably some time tomorrow after I type it out with my adjustment notes.

@h3mmy oooh good call with the jaggery
