Really, it's simple arithmetic…or something like that: Beer is good. Banana bread is good. Beernana bread is great! Even guys who don't know their way around the kitchen can pull this one off. —Steve Cayford, Dubuque, Iowa

Ingredients

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) wheat beer
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, mix flour, oats and brown sugar. In another bowl, mix bananas, beer and maple syrup until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
  2. Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

Can you freeze Beernana Bread?

Securely wrap cooled loaf in foil and then freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature.

Test Kitchen Tip
  • We loved Blue Moon beer in this recipe. Steer clear of the IPA's; they'll give the bread a bitter bite.
