If you ever wake up late but need to cook breakfast for a houseful of people, here’s a quick and yummy recipe for bread to fill your baskets and fill the house with the smell of fresh baked goods. Here are Wildberry Lodge, we love Melinda’s 3-ingredient beer muffins!

The basic recipe is only three ingredients; thus the name. That also makes it a good recipe for helpers with limited skills to make or to teach kids to bake. It’s also a great recipe with which to experiment. Try adding cinnamon, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
