Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats (not instant), such as McCann's, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour, such as Heckers
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 (11- to 12-ounce) bottle Guinness extra stout beer, at room temperature
- 1 cup buttermilk, shaken
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for brushing the pan
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Salted butter, such as Irish Kerrygold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the beer, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using your fingers, stir from the middle outward until everything is well combined. The mixture will resemble cake batter rather than traditional bread dough.
- Lightly brush a 9 x 5 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with melted butter. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the top with oats. Place the bread in the oven, immediately lower the temperature to 400 degrees, and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Slice and serve with salted butter.
