Morphology

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the noun 'malt'; meaning 'having been converted into malt' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word malted comes from malt, which is grain that has been soaked so it can 'sprout' and then dried to make a sweet, nutty ingredient used in beer and whisky. So malted means 'made into malt', which is why brewers use malted barley for a richer taste.
