Plus, making them in muffin tins is perfect for better portion control and you can freeze the extras! These are perfect for St Patrick’s Day which is right around the corner. More muffin recipes I love are Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins, Insanely Good Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins and Maple Pecan Banana Muffins.

I used a combination of King Arthur unbleached white whole wheat flour with unbleached all purpose flour, and the flavor and texture was perfect – they don’t taste whole wheat at all.

Irish Soda Bread Variations:

• These are very lightly sweetened but if you prefer a sweeter bread you can add more honey.
• You can swap the honey for agave syrup.
• Try swapping the raisins for craisins.
• If you like caraway seeds in your bread, you can add about an eighth of a teaspoon.

How To Store Muffins:

• To store muffins, allow them to cool completely and place in an air-tight container or Ziploc bag at room temperature.
• Refrigerate for up to 5 days or wrap tight and freeze for up to 1 month.
• To get that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, warm muffins in the microwave.
