St. Patrick’s Day is almost here and I wanted to give you a fun recipe that your whole family would love. It’s vegan, gluten-free and has no added oil, so everyone can partake!
This gluten-free Irish Soda Bread is so tasty and easy to make. The best part of a quick bread is that it really is quick!
What Is Irish Soda Bread?
Gluten Free Vegan Irish Soda Bread is a dense bread that’s traditionally made of flour, buttermilk, salt, sugar, and baking soda. It’s much like a quick bread, just a little heavier.
How Do I Eat Soda Bread?
They are just as good for dinner as they are for breakfast.
My favorite way to eat it for breakfast is warmed, split, and slathered with a slightly bitter marmalade. You can always use your favorite jam or jelly instead.
On the other hand these little goodies are my go to for soups and stews in the winter. They aren’t sweet by themselves and it’s easy to whip a batch up right before dinner.
Is There Yeast in Irish Soda Bread?
There is not yeast in this bread. It just uses baking soda to get it to rise.
Do I Have to Use Soy Milk?
I use soy milk because it will curdle when you add apple cider vinegar. That makes it extra thick and really resembles buttermilk.
If you choose to use a different nondairy milk, you can still add the vinegar for tartness, but it will not curdle because the protein counts are too low.
I Don’t Eat Sugar Can I Leave It Out?
Soda bread is traditionally made without any sweetener, so feel free to leave out the tiny amount of sugar.
If you do eat sugar try leaving it in, I think it balances the flavors out.
How Long Does Gluten Free Vegan Irish Soda Bread Last? Can I Freeze It?
The soda bread will dry out quickly, but it will last about 2 or 3 days if you wrap it up with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
You can freeze it for up to 3 months, just thaw and heat before eating.
Gluten Free Vegan Irish Soda Bread
What I love most about Irish soda bread is how quickly it comes together, and these mini rounds cook in about 15 minutes. That makes them a perfect last minute addition to a dinner or a quick breakfast on a weekend. You can enjoy them plain or with your favorite jam.

Problem with the 1 T. flax mixed with 2 T. warm water. Usually 3 T. water is used. 2 T. formed a very thick mixture that would not incorporate with the liquid ingredients.

Hello can almond milk,, buttermilk or milk be used in this recipe? Would you still use the vinegar? I do not usually stock soy milk. Looking forward to making this with currants and caraway seeds. Thank you.

You can use any non-dairy milk, it just won’t be as thick as soy milk.
