Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 12 ounces Beer (lager or amber recommended)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
Stir in the chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them in the dry mixture.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the maple syrup and beer.
Gently stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tough bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter, creating a golden crust as it bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with additional butter or maple syrup if desired.
