Cinnamon Irish Soda Bread

January 25, 2016 by Roxanne Kwiecinski 3 Comments

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this unique twist on traditional Irish Soda Bread. Cinnamon chips and chocolate chips give this Irish dessert a sweet flavor that will take your taste buds over the rainbow!

Irish Soda Bread

I love St. Patrick’s Day. I think it’s my second favorite holiday after Christmas. I mean, a holiday for Irish people who enjoy beer? What’s not to love? Our St. Patrick’s Day traditions are green beer, eating at our local Irish bar and pub, and this bread recipe. I’ve been experimenting with my family’s traditional Irish Soda Bread recipes for a few years now. I am sharing with you today my family’s favorite version. We have a sweet tooth around here so I added both cinnamon chips and chocolate chips to my batter. The chocolate chips could also be substituted with raisins (which would also be delicious) if you would like to cut down on the sugar a bit.

Irish Bread Recipe Not all of my area supermarkets sell cinnamon chips. I found mine in a local Wegman’s, it’s sold in the baking aisle. After I pour my batter into the loaf pan, before baking, I sprinkle the top with decorator’s sugar crystals for a little sparkle. Most Irish Soda Bread recipes are pretty basic. It’s a fun recipe to experiment with, switching the ingredients up with your preferences. My friend’s very Irish family makes theirs with caraway seeds and raisins.

Irish Bread

Irish legends say that traditionally before baking this bread, a cross was cut on the top with a knife to ward off evil spirits and protect the household. I’ve also read that the shape of the bread was based upon the region of Ireland where it was being prepared. Most farmhouse kitchens back then only had open hearths so the bread was baked on a griddle or in an iron pot over a fire.

Luckily for us, we have it a little easier these days. Even my husband loves this bread and he’s 100% Polish. But everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, right?

    Hi, I went to Ireland two years ago and I fell in love with the beauty of the country, its people and their food. I spent three wonderful weeks there overlooking the Shannon river. Amazing experience and one that I hope to repeat again. Ever since I got back I've been baking scones, and trying different varieties... my family and friends love them all. I have also made the traditional St Patrick's dinner for that special day including the soda bread. Today I'm going to try your recipe for the cinnamon soda bread. Thank you for sharing your recipes. Josephine M from New Mexico😊
