Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour -- (or substitute more AP flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup currants -- or raisins, Note 1:
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 large egg
1 cup Greek yogurt -- Note 2: plain or vanilla
yogurt is fine too
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons orange zest
Demerara sugar -- or other coarse sugar for topping
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.
PREP: 15 mins
COOK: 20 mins
TOTAL: 35 mins
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a 12-cup, standard-size muffin tin with
paper liners.
Note 1: I used half regular raisins and half golden raisins
Note 2: plain or vanilla yogurt is fine too
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.
Review: This is such a great idea! I'm always hesitant to make loaves
of bread because the husband and I can't eat them before they start
going stale/moldy, but with muffins, I can throw them in the freezer
and eat them anytime. Win!
Review: I love muffins and Irish soda bread so this is great! Perfect
grab and go food.
