First up: This is the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had.

It is soft and fluffy and has the perfect amount of pumpkin and spice. 

Don’t be worried if you aren’t a beer fan – you won’t taste it! The yeast in the beer just helps the bread rise and is what makes it so fluffy. 

 

Ingredients

• Unsalted butter
• Sugar
• Beer – use whatever you like! We had a single Stella Artois in the fridge so I used that. 
• Eggs
• Pumpkin puree
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• Baking soda
• Baking powder
• Pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy
• Add beer and beat until combined
• Add eggs one at a time and beat until combined
• Beat in pumpkin puree
• In a separate mixing bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined
• Scrape batter into a loaf pan sprayed with oil
• Bake at 350F for 50 – 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

Can You Freeze Pumpkin Bread?

Yes, you can definitely freeze this Pumpkin Beer Bread! 

I would wrap it in a couple layers of aluminum foil and then place it in a freezer ziploc bag with as much air squeezed out as possible. It should be fine in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

To defrost, just let it sit at room temperature overnight. You can toast slices in a toaster if you want.
