This Guinness Oat Bread is a favorite around here, with a full 12 ounces of beer baked right in, this bread is a real crowd pleaser. Even though St. Patricks day has passed, I’m still over here using up Guinness. One of my favorite things to do with beer (since I don’t drink it myself) is to use it in cooking, and more specifically, in baked goods.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a whole bottle of beer in bread before though. The stout gives this bread a beautiful golden hue and just enough beer taste to let you know it’s there without overwhelming you. The best part about this bread though, is that it’s sweet enough to be a part of breakfast, and savor enough to be a part of lunch or dinner!

Dare I say that this Guinness Oat Bread even rivals Irish Soda Bread?

I served this bread as part of a St. Patrick’s day charcuterie board, but I could easily see it being used for a sandwich, made into French toast, or even to soak up a hearty soup or stew! No matter how you decide to enjoy it, it’s definitely a fun Guinness twist on an oat quick bread.
