Cheesy Beer Bread Muffins

These beer bread muffins are quick, easy, and made with ingredients you probably already have. I tested them twice to make sure they’re extra fluffy, tweaking the flour so a full 12-ounce beer works perfectly. Just crack one open and pour it in! Well . . . not so fast, the beer needs to be room temp, or the butter will clump up. Trust me on this one. Beer, cheese, and bread? Sounds like the perfect St. Patrick’s Day combo to me!

How to Make Cheesy Beer Bread Muffins

Making cheesy beer bread muffins is incredibly simple and requires just a few basic ingredients! With no need for yeast or rising time, these come together quickly, making them perfect for a last-minute side or snack. Follow these easy steps to whip up a batch in no time!

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
2. Stir in Wet Ingredients and Bake: Mix in the beer, butter, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until the batter just comes together. Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tin, and bake the muffins for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the muffins are golden on top.
3. Add Melted Butter and Cool: Brush the baked muffins with melted butter and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
