These muffins bring all the rustic charm of a traditional Irish soda bread loaf into a convenient, individual-sized format that's easy to share or grab on the go. The batter comes together with pantry staples — flour, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter — so there's nothing complicated standing between you and a warm, golden muffin. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a tender, slightly tangy crumb that's deeply satisfying without being heavy. Optional raisins add little pops of sweetness, while caraway seeds bring that earthy, slightly anise-like note that soda bread lovers know and crave. The whole thing is naturally free from celery and celery-derived ingredients, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your bake. A toothpick test and a deep golden top are your cues that they're done, and they're honestly best eaten still warm from the tin with a generous smear of butter.
