I’m not Irish but like many, I celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Every year, for as long as I could remember, I would make a traditional St.Patrick’s Day meal consisting of Irish Soda Bread and Corned Beef & Cabbage with boiled Potatoes. It would be the one time of year, I would eat corned beef (guilt-free) and enjoy the tradition with my family. Over the years, I shifted from eating the traditional meats, and now focus on ways to develop plant-based versions of recipes I grew up on. Making Vegan Irish Soda Bread was top of my list!
Can’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day without Irish Soda Bread!!
What’s St. Patrick’s Day without Irish Soda Bread! It is incredibly easy to make, and so delicious. The best part is, Vegan Irish Soda Bread only requires a few ingredients and you definitely do not need to have baking experience or special baking tools to make this.
