Protein–energy malnutrition is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency across the world predominantly affecting young children. The present study was undertaken to develop quality protein maize (QPM)‐based biscuits for its supplementation to 60 malnourished young children (aged between 4 and 6 years). The developed biscuits were analyzed for nutritional composition, and the effect of supplementation was determined by evaluating the overall nutritional status of the subjects.
