This Guinness Beer Bread is easy to make and perfect for St. Patrick's Day. The Irish stout helps the bread to rise without using yeast, and there's no waiting before baking time. It also lends a nutty flavor to this lightly sweet bread.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup oats, brown sugar and salt.
Slowly add the Guinness and mix until just combined.
Coat a loaf pan with cooking spray, and pour the batter in. Sprinkle the top with an additional tablespoon of oats.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
