Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 12 ounces Beer (amber ale or similar)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with half of the melted butter (2 tablespoons) until smooth.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, and pour the beer into the bowl as well. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 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 about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
