Recipe Notes

• Don't  over mix your batter. You can simple mix it until there are no longer any dry spots in your batter. Overmixing can give you a dense banana bread. Which is, not that great.
• Butter: Be sure it's soften beforehand. Need it done quickly? A few tips.
• Bananas: You will need 2 cups of mashed bananas. This should be about 3 medium size bananas. The riper the banana, the better.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container or storage bag. It's best eaten within a week.  If desired, you can freeze your bread. Let it cool completely, then, freeze it in a freezer-safe, covered container or storage bag.  It will be good for several months.

Beer Bread

Beer Bread- A delicious quick bread that requires just 4 ingredients! Serve it as a side or with your favorite creamy dip.  It goes great with just about anything you are serving or by itself. 

Soooo long ago,  I went to my sister in law's house for a birthday party. She served up beer bread that was cut into chunks and served with a creamy spinach dip.  It was dee-vine. 

Fast forward several years and I am still making it.  Not just to go with a dip, but, simply by itself as a side to dinner. It is still just as good and simple as ever.

Now, you can buy a package of mix to make beer bread...don't waste your money on it!  This bread is so simple, you won't need it. 

 Ingredients Needed:

• Self rising flour

Recipe Notes

Self Rising Flour

None on hand? Make it homemade. 👌

Do I Have to Use Beer?

Honestly, no.  I have made this bread with regular beer, non alcoholic beer, root beer and lemon lime soda. They have all worked great.  Stick with a carbonated beverage that is 12 ounces in size for the recipe to work best. 

Storage & Freezing

Keep any leftovers in a covered container/storage bag. It's best eaten within a week or so.  If desired, you can freeze this bread. Let it cool completely, then, store it in a freezer safe, covered container or storage bag.  It will be good for a couple of months.
