Blueberry Irish Soda Bread Muffins

We love making Irish soda bread- this recipe lets you take it along as a portable breakfast! The blueberries can be substituted with caraway seeds or your favorite dried fruit. We used a mix of whole wheat and white flour, but trying different combinations of flour will give you different bakes and consistencies.

J got to tour a farm in Ireland once, and part of the visit included making Irish soda bread in the farm's large kitchen. According to the farmer, the final step was to add "a bit of butter and jam, and you're in business." Can't argue with that.
