Irish Soda Bread is a great quick bread to make and this whole wheat version makes it healthier and heartier. It goes great with your favorite sugar free jam or with your St. Patrick's Day meal!

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup golden raisins
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoons salt
2 cups low-fat buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and raisins.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and buttermilk all at once. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
Turn dough out onto the parchment paper and form into a round loaf. Cut an X into the top of the dough with a sharp knife about ½ inch deep.
Place on the middle rack to bake for 30 min or until firm and golden brown.
