Soda bread has always been one of those deeply satisfying bakes — crusty on the outside, tender within, and built from pantry staples you probably already have on hand. These muffin-sized versions take everything you love about a classic loaf and make it even easier to portion, share, and devour straight from the tin. Buttermilk and baking soda do the heavy lifting here, creating a light, slightly tangy crumb without any yeast or complicated technique. The optional raisins add little pops of sweetness, while caraway seeds bring that earthy, old-world flavor that makes soda bread so distinctive — use one, both, or neither depending on your mood. For anyone navigating peanut allergies, this recipe is refreshingly straightforward: every ingredient is simple and easy to source from trusted brands, so there's no squinting at labels or worrying about what might be hiding in a store-bought loaf. A quick stir, a hot oven, and about twenty minutes later you've got golden, domed muffins that are genuinely wonderful warm with a little butter melting into the top.
