    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. The vegan version is even better – no buttermilk needed!

    How to make Irish Soda Bread

    Vegan Irish Soda Bread is so easy to make and only needs 9 ingredients!

    • A container of almond milk and ½ lemon juiced
      Create vegan buttermilk
    • Flour in package and bowl with measuring spoon
      Measure and sift flour
    • A group of ingredients a table for Irish soda bread
      Blend ingredients

    Kneading the mixture doesn’t require any previous baking skills – just don’t overdo it! 10 – 12 times of kneading is enough!

    I love to eat Irish Soda Bread with a touch of fig spread. Enjoy it also with vegan butter, cream cheese or your favorite fruit spread!

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
