Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 12 ounces Beer (amber ale or similar)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree with half of the melted butter (2 tablespoons) until smooth.

Step 4

Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients, and pour the beer into the bowl as well. Stir gently until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
