These cheesy beer bread muffins are light, fluffy, and packed with savory flavor! With a hint of beer and plenty of cheesy goodness, they come together quickly and make the perfect side for a hot bowl of soup or a warm, buttery snack.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk the 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Mix in the 1 (12-ounce) can room-temperature pale beer, ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 ½ cups 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.
Brush the baked muffins with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
