Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins
Description
Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins use a combination of white whole wheat and all-purpose flours along with baking powder and baking soda to achieve a leavened quick bread muffin. Chilled butter cut into the dry ingredients forms a crumbly base, which is moistened by a mixture of buttermilk, honey, and beaten egg, lending moisture and subtle sweetness. Adding raisins contributes chewy, fruity pockets throughout the muffins.
After mixing, the batter is spooned into a prepared muffin tin and baked at 375°F until set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once cooled slightly, the muffins can be served warm or stored at room temperature in an airtight container. Their balance of hearty whole wheat and tenderness makes them suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a portable snack.
