Vegan Irish Soda Bread

An easy dairy-free, egg-free and vegan recipe for Irish soda bread using an egg replacer and soy milk. Vegan soda bread is also much lower in fat than a traditional Irish soda bread, which uses buttermilk.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, plus 1 tsp
• 3/4 cup white flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tbsp vegan margarine
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a loaf pan.

Whisk together the egg replacer and water until foamy.

In a small bowl, combine the soy milk and vinegar. This will serve as the buttermilk replacement for your vegan Irish soda bread.

In a separate large bowl, combine 3/4 cup wheat flour, white flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in the vegan margarine and stir to combine.

Slowly combine the egg replacer, and soy milk and vinegar with the dry ingredients.

Gently toss together the 1 tsp of whole wheat flour with the raisins to coat, and add caraway seeds. Add raisins and caraway seeds to dough, stirring to combine.

Pour dough into greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes.
