These perfectly portioned Irish Soda Bread Muffins taste just like a traditional Irish Soda bread, but they’re grain free, gluten free, and low carb!
Keto Irish Soda Bread Recipe
Traditional Bread is made with white all purpose flour or whole wheat flour, buttermilk and baking soda which acts as it’s leavening agent. Obviously making a healthier gluten free bread recipe does require a change in the typical ingredients like the choice of flour.
But capturing that texture in a keto bread was what I was going for in this recipe for traditional soda bread with a rustic texture and I’ve got a pretty good feeling you’re going to love it as well!
Carbs in traditional Irish Soda Bread
According to the app I use, Cronometer, one slice or 60 grams has 31.6 grams of carbs and that is really too high in carbs for anyone on a ketogenic diet or low carb diet because it will spike ones blood sugar and could cause cravings.
Our low carb keto-friendly recipe has 9 total grams of carbs and had 4 grams of dietary fiber so it’s 5 g net carbs. All nutritional information is on the printable recipe card at the bottom of this page.
Quick Bread Recipe
While my choice of ingredients of this simple quick bread as muffins might be quite unique, they work well together and form a delicious batter that creates a pretty terrific little biscuit.
Even if you’re not on a low carb diet or keto diet, this keto soda bread recipe is a tree nut allergy friendly keto version that’s a perfect choice for anyone with food allergies to tree nut allergies, and gluten allergies.
Even if you’re not Irish or celebrate st. Patrick’s day with the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage, these biscuits will be ones you might enjoy any time of year.
I adapted my recipe slightly from my orginial grain free keto Irish Soda Bread which is fantastic as well. But for these little biscuits I wanted a little bit of a lighter texture than the dense bread provides.
Currants or Raisins
You can choose to add currants or raisins, my family loved the currants in these, but honestly you can hardly taste a difference in my opinion. Currants are a little bit smaller and drier than raisins.
My family made lots of positive comments while enjoying these muffins for breakfast, toasted with a little butter. No need to wait until St. Paddy’s day comes around to make a fabulous muffin!
The nutrition info in the recipe card below does not include using raisins. But I’ve also included in the Notes section in the recipe card, the nutritional information if you do include raisins.
What to Serve with Keto Irish Soda Bread Muffins
Hearty soups to enjoy this low carb bread recipe today would be my unstuffed cabbage roll soup or this slow cooker cabbage soup with sausage.
