Inspired by The Best Quick Breads, by Beth Hensperger (Harvard Common Press, 2000).

This sweet and spicy quick bread would make a great St. Patrick’s Day breakfast, or a heartening snack served with a cup of coffee or Irish tea. The magic ingredient is Guinness stout, a dark Irish beer that adds wonderful moistness and flavor.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup organic brown sugar
1 12-ounce Guinness or other Irish stout beer, minus a sip (fun for the cook!)
1/2 cup raisins
2/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, then spoon into a greased loaf pan.

2. Bake 50 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.

Makes one loaf.

Delish! And super easy. My co-workers and I just enjoyed some, still warm from the oven. Happy St. Pat's!

Not sure if this is something I want to try. But my partner might, so again make it with the soup and see how it goes.
