Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Irish Soda Bread Muffins, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup raisins or currants (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If using, fold in the raisins or currants. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter muffin, add ½ cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Substitute the raisins with dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots for a different flavor profile.
