Muffin bread is so delicious and comes together quickly because guess what there's no yeast or rising to worry about!
I love easy recipes and quick bread like this one with no waiting time for the muffin bread to rise up!
The taste is extraordinary with extra light and fluffy texture plus with the brown sugar added it has a little sweetness for the perfect addition.
Served with my Slow Cooker Guinness Corned Beef, Colcannon Guinness Gravy Mashed Potatoes or even just a Guinness Stew or Guinness Cheesy Chili, these muffins are the perfect accompaniment!

Stout Beer
Guinness Beer is one of the most popular stout beers out there.
It's made from roasted barley, hops, yeast, and water and the roasted barley is where it gets its caramelized color from.
The beer helps the muffins or bread rise nicely and makes the light and flavorful.
We really enjoy these with melted butter or used to dip into our delicious Irish Style Stovetop Lamb Stew.
