Save A bold, moist quick bread combining the nostalgic flavor of root beer with the energizing kick of Monster Energy, baked into a tender, muffin-style loaf.
I first made this Monster Energy Root Beer Muffin Loaf for a game night with friends, and it was a surprise hit: energizing, nostalgic, and perfect for sharing in thick slices.

Save My kids loved pulling apart warm slices and dipping them in extra root beer glaze. It quickly became a sweet weekend tradition in our home.
