This Beer Cornbread is a staple at our house. I love to make beer bread and wondered what it would taste like with some cornmeal in the bread. I gave it a whirl and it turned out great! Flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and beer. I added a little honey to the bread. I don’t normally like sweet cornbread, but I thought the honey really balanced out the beer in the bread.
The recipe is so simple and tastes super delicious. You probably have all of the recipe ingredients in your pantry right now! The best part about this recipe is that there is no yeast. The beer acts as the leavening agent along with the baking powder. Easy Peasy! Give this a try the next time you warm up with a big bowl of soup or chili. You won’t regret it!
How to Make Beer Cornbread
This bread is very easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, self-rising cornmeal, and baking powder. Add beer and honey to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well blended. Lightly spray a bread pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, if desired. Pour batter into the loaf pan. Pour melted butter over the top of the bread. Bake in a preheated oven until it turns a light golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

For something that took 3 min to whip up, this was pretty tasty! I also added 1/2 tsp of salt, although I’ll add a whole tsp next time. Any amount of add-ins would be delicious for this – dried rosemary and garlic powder, lemon zest and thyme, basil and paprika… I’ll keep this recipe on hand for sure! 😀
