This Stout Chocolate Chip Beer Bread is like dessert and a pint had a love child.
It’s soft, lightly sweet, and studded with melty chocolate chips — all wrapped in the deep, roasted richness of your favorite stout.

No yeast, no kneading, just bold flavor and ridiculously easy baking. Perfect with butter, espresso, or another glass of stout (we won’t judge).

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or use all AP if you want it lighter)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but recommended)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
• 12 oz stout beer (like Guinness, chocolate stout, or milk stout)
• ¼ cup melted butter (plus more for brushing)

Beer Tip: A smooth stout with chocolate or coffee notes enhances the flavor. Avoid overly bitter or dry stouts unless you want that punchy finish.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 3: Add the Beer

Pour in the stout and mix gently until just combined — the batter will be thick and sticky.

Don’t overmix.

Step 4: Pour, Butter & Bake

• Spoon the batter into your loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over the top.
• Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is deep golden.

Let cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Serving Ideas

• Best with:
  • Salted butter or hazelnut spread
  • Vanilla ice cream for a quick dessert
  • Coffee, espresso, or a milk stout on the side
• Upgrade it:
  • Add walnuts, pecans, or chopped dried cherries
  • Use white chocolate chips for a twist
  • Top with a drizzle of beer caramel or chocolate glaze

Final Thoughts

Stout Chocolate Chip Beer Bread is rich, hearty, and just sweet enough — the perfect bake for dessert lovers who like their sweets with an edge.

It’s great fresh, better toasted, and amazing with butter and coffee the next morning (if any makes it that long).

Cheers to dessert bread that drinks like a pint! 🍫🍺🍞
