Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread

March 4, 2014 by lauren.kelly 6 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

St. Patricks Day is coming up so I decided to search for Irish Soda Bread Recipes and immediately became intimidated.   I haven’t had the best experiences in the past with making my own breads.   Then I found this one on allrecipes.com and it had the word “easy” in the title and I was intrigued.   This recipe didn’t require yeast and  I decided to make it healthier.

Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread

 

I used whole wheat pastry flour to add some fiber to this bread.  I also cut the sugar in half since I added some raisins, which add natural sweetness.  I also substituted plain Greek yogurt for some of the buttermilk who adds protein and reduces the fat.  Lastly, I used my favorite, good old coconut oil instead of butter and it came together beautifully.   If you love Irish Soda Bread, why not try this healthier one?  I mean, everyone is Irish on St. Patricks Day, right?

I know it might sound weird to some, but this tastes AMAZING with peanut butter on it. But then again, everything tastes delicious with peanut butter.
