Description
Enjoy the cozy, comforting flavors of Irish soda bread in a quick and easy muffin form. These tender, golden-brown Irish Soda Bread Muffins are a perfect breakfast, brunch, or snack option that can be made in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Pour in the melted butter and buttermilk and stir just until combined (do not overmix).
4. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Serve the Irish Soda Bread Muffins warm, with a pat of butter if desired.
Notes
For a savory twist, you can add shredded cheddar cheese, chopped herbs, or caraway seeds to the batter. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
