Macadamia Free Classic Soda Bread Muffins

There is something deeply satisfying about soda bread, and turning it into individual muffins makes the whole experience even better — no slicing, no fuss, just grab one and go. The batter comes together with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, buttermilk, and a touch of melted butter, so there is no hunting down specialty ingredients or worrying about what might be lurking in a store-bought loaf. Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to give these muffins a beautiful lift and a slightly tangy crumb that is tender without being cakey. Optional raisins add little bursts of sweetness, while caraway seeds bring that classic, earthy note that makes soda bread taste so distinctly itself. The key is not overmixing — a thick, shaggy batter is exactly what you want, and it bakes up into deep golden domes that look like they came from a proper bakery. These are wonderful warm from the oven with a smear of butter, and they hold up just as well at room temperature, making them a reliable choice for breakfast, brunch, or alongside a bowl of soup.
