Raspberry Wheat Beer Bread

This bread is so wonderful. I made this as a side for dinner over the weekend. Can I say it is amazing & so so simple to make. It actually is sweet from the beer & could be used as a breakfast bread.  I hope you make it right now! & let me know how you & your family enjoyed it!



Raspberry Wheat Beer Bread:

3 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp honey
1 bottle of Raspberry Wheat Beer.( I used Shock Top)
4 Tbsp butter. (melted)


Preheat oven to 350, grease a 9x5x3 in loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, & salt, using a wooded spoon, stir in the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until mixed. I recommend putting your honey in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to mix into the bread.

Pour half the melted butter into the bottom of your loaf pan. then spoon the batter into the pan, level off and then pour the rest of your butter on top of the mixture. ( you can use a pastry brush to do this or your hand)

Bake for 50-60 mins, until top is golden brown & toothpick comes out clean.

Serve Immediately
