I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The muffins were still delicious.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour. They're a healthier alternative to traditional Irish soda bread.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my muffins didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit dense and crumbly.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste, but they still had a nice flavor. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.
