Tools

Ingredients
  

  • 284 g (2-¼ cups) white whole wheat flour, spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg , room temperature
  • 44 g (3 tablespoons) granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 32 g (2 tablespoons) light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and cooled
  • 1-⅓ cups currants or raisins
  • 1-½ tablespoons turbinado or sparkling white sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk the whole wheat flour, baking soda, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk the egg, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and buttermilk in a separate medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients and the currants to the liquid mixture. Use a rubber spatula to mix until just 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 to a wire rack to cool until ready to serve. Enjoy our Whole wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins!

Notes

How to Store & Re-Heat
  • To store: the cooled Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • To reheat: In the microwave until warm through, about 5 to 10 seconds.
How to Freeze
Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling just above three-quarters full. Divide the topping among the muffins, pressing lightly. Freeze until set, about 3 hours. The muffins can be removed to zippered freezer bags at this point and stored for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins in a pan and bake until they are lightly golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
