Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 12 ounces Beer (lager or amber recommended)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped walnuts to evenly distribute them in the dry mixture.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the maple syrup and beer.

Step 5

Gently stir the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tough bread.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter, creating a golden crust as it bakes.

Step 8

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, either plain or with additional butter or maple syrup if desired.
