There is something deeply comforting about the smell of soda bread baking, and these muffins deliver all of that warmth in a perfectly portioned, grab-and-go form. The batter comes together with pantry staples — flour, buttermilk, egg, and melted butter — so there is no need to hunt down specialty ingredients or worry about what might be lurking in a store-bought loaf. Tangy buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to give each muffin a tender, slightly dense crumb that is classic soda bread through and through. The optional raisins add little pockets of sweetness, while caraway seeds bring that earthy, old-world flavor that makes this bread so iconic. Everything goes from bowl to oven in minutes, and the result is a deep golden top with a soft, pillowy interior that is just as good warm from the rack as it is the next morning with a smear of butter. These are naturally free from any seafood-derived ingredients, relying entirely on simple baking staples, so they are a completely stress-free bake for anyone navigating shellfish sensitivities.
