Capsaicin Free Classic Soda Bread Muffins

These tender, golden muffins bring all the rustic charm of a traditional Irish loaf into a handheld, individual-sized format that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. The tangy buttermilk and a touch of melted butter give them a soft, slightly dense crumb that's deeply satisfying without being heavy. For anyone navigating sensitivity to capsaicin — found not just in hot peppers but sometimes lurking in spice blends and processed baked goods — baking from scratch with a clean, straightforward ingredient list is the safest and most delicious route. Every ingredient here is naturally free of heat-producing compounds, so there's no label-scanning required. The optional raisins add a gentle sweetness, while caraway seeds bring a subtle, earthy note that nods to the classic soda bread tradition. A quick mix, a short bake, and you've got a batch of warm, golden muffins ready to be split open and slathered with butter.
