I have a love-hate relationship with Irish soda bread. It can be dry. It can be underwhelming. And what do you do with the leftovers? I'm a fan of good Irish soda bread. But I've definitely tried my share of duds. I find that it makes for a good breakfast treat.... and my 6 year old often requests it. So I found this recipe for Irish Soda Bread Muffins- definitely perfect for breakfast and easy to throw in the freezer to have on a moment's notice.
I chose to make these in my giant muffin tins- the recipe turns out 5 giant muffins. The recipe includes instructions for making regular-sized muffins too. 
Three easy steps: The dry ingredients are cut with butter. Eggs and buttermilk are added. Currants and caraway seeds are added last. We left out the caraway seeds because my son thought they looked "icky." And I personally think they're kind of icky too!
This recipe can be found HERE.

I'll happily try one of your GIANT muffins please. :)
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is suspicious of Irish Soda Bread. To be honest, I haven't come across an ISB that ever caught my fancy, but I also haven't gone out of my way to keep trying it looking for good ones. These muffins certainly look good though...maybe, just maybe I can give Irish Soda Bread another chance what with the holiday right around the corner...
I love it, and being Irish had to link you on my blog :)
Thank you for making a giant muffin, now I don't have to ask for seconds!
Ahh, who needs caraway, anyway?!
These look fabulous! Did I happen to see these on Tastespotting? ;)
Great idea to make muffins with Irish soda bread! Fresh out of the oven is always best! :)
These look really moist and yummy. I've never had Irish soda bread that wasn't dry. Good job with the muffins!
OMG! I think I'm in love! I've just read the last ten pages of your blog. It's food porn at it's best! Between your blog and del.icio.us I now have a slew of new recipes to try. Thank you!
And these muffins sound awesome - especially without the seeds.
