    Dairy-Free Irish Soda Bread that’s a Flavorful Twist on Tradition

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on March 11, 2014 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    I adore soda bread year round, but it’s also a festive treat for St. Patrick’s Day. Quick breads are typically very sweet, but dairy-free Irish soda bread combines some of the savory flavors of yeast bread with the fast, no rise method of using baking soda. Just stir, spread into the pan and bake. That said, this recipe is a little sweeter than most Irish soda bread recipes, and has some warm ingredient additions.

    Since this dairy-free Irish soda bread is still lightly sweetened (and contains cinnamon and raisins), it also makes great “just sweet enough” muffins. Simply divide the batter between 12 greased muffin cups (or ungreased silicone baking cups), and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

    Special Diet Notes: Dairy-Free Irish Soda Bread

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, peanut-free, soy-free, nut-free, oil-free, and vegetarian. Just use caution when selecting your milk alternative – be sure to pick one that fits your dietary needs.

    For egg-free and vegan Irish Soda Bread, this recipe does work with your favorite egg alternative, particularly powdered egg replacer.

    For higher altitude baking, I would reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon, to start, and note that egg-free baking may be trickier.

      Delicious! Made this bread on St. Pattys as a side with beef stew and am already making more. It’s great for breakfast too, with a couple of eggs. Family loves it, thank you for the recipe!
