Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle pumpkin ale or other amber beer
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin ale, pumpkin puree, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use a spiced pumpkin ale.
  • Serve toasted with butter or cream cheese.
  • This bread pairs well with chili or stew.
  • Consider this a great alternative to traditional meal planning for a quick bake.
