Irish Soda Bread Muffins

Recipe Description

These Irish Soda Bread Muffins get their name from the fact that there is baking soda used in the batter to make them instead of traditional yeast and combined with buttermilk for a soft dough, bread like muffin.

We’ve chosen to add raisins and caraway seeds for flavor and eaten with a cup of cinnamon tea, they’re great on a winter’s afternoon!

I made the Irish Soda Bread Muffins for my family on a chilly afternoon, and they just loved it! The recipe was so simple, and using baking soda instead of yeast was new for me. The raisins added a nice touch, and they paired perfectly with cinnamon tea. Will be making these again soon!
