Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or lightly grease with butter and line with parchment paper.
To a large bowl add 3 cups flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup oats.
In a small bowl add 3 tbsp of butter, melted and 2 tbsp molasses. Mix to combine. Then add the beer and mix.
Add the molasses mixture to the dry ingredients along with the beer and mix. The dough should be thick and sticky but not dry. If dry add a little more beer.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan and use a spoon or spatula to spread evenly ensuring the dough is tight against the sides and in the corners of the pan.
Base the top of the dough with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with a tbsp of oats.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Enjoy hot out of the oven with butter!

Storage:

Store tightly sealed on the counter for up to 3 days. Or freeze double wrapped tightly for up to 1 month in the freezer.

Dough Too Dry?

Add a little extra beer if it is too dry. The batter should be sticky but not loose.
