Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread Muffins

Another Irish Soda Bread recipe! What's nice about making Irish Soda Bread in muffin tins is easier portion control. This makes 12 small muffins. I recommend eating them warm with low fat spread or topping it with honey. This recipe was slightly modified from Recipe Girl. If you like caraway seeds in your bread, add about an eighth of a teaspoon.

*Since posting this recipe, I now use Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat pastry flour in place of the whole wheat and white, I love the results, you will too!
