Irish Soda Bread Muffins image

Currants, caraway seeds, and orange zest dot these these Irish soda bread inspired muffins. A dusting of coarse sugar along the top gives them an irresistibly sweet crunch.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute more all-purpose flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup currants or raisins (I used half regular raisins and half golden raisins)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large egg
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla yogurt is fine too)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons orange zest
Demerara or other coarse sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup, standard-size muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, currants/raisins, and caraway seeds.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, and orange zest.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and gently combine with a large spoon, mixing just until the batter comes together. The batter will be very thick.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing evenly between the 12 cups. I used an ice cream scoop which made quick work of it.
  • Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and tip each muffin in their pan to help the steam escape and avoid soggy bottoms. Let cool for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack to finish cooling enough to serve.
  • Serve with butter and/or jam.

I'm not a fan of raisins, but I think I'll try making these muffins with chocolate chips instead.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins turned out flat and dense. I followed the recipe exactly.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add a little more butter or milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The muffins were still delicious and had a great texture.
