How to Make Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and set an oven rack in the middle. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk the whole wheat flour, baking soda, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients and the currants to the liquid mixture. Use a rubber spatula to mix until combined; the batter will be very thick.
Do not over-mix! Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling the cups about ¾ full. Sprinkle the turbinado evenly over the muffins.
Bake the Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden and set, and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack until ready to serve. Enjoy our Whole-wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins!
