This grain free, dairy free and paleo version of classic Irish Soda Bread is perfectly crusty on the outside, soft and tender inside and easy to make. A simple homemade dairy free buttermilk gives the bread great rise and flavor and it’s just barely sweetened with pure maple sugar.
It took me a few tries to get this recipe for Paleo Irish Soda Bread right, and I was super happy with the final product!
There are two main problems that arises with many paleo breads and they both involve texture. First, they tend to be either too dry and crumbly or too moist.
Traditional Irish Soda Bread (vegan)
The second is that whether too dry or moist, they don’t have the “chew” or “stretch” that traditional bread. This is partially due to the lack of gluten, but also to the lack of starchy flours like rice flour that gluten free blends typically use to mimic wheat flour.
I typically get good results for breads when I blend three types of grain free flour – blanched almond flour, tapioca (or arrowroot) and golden flaxseed meal. (I like using the golden variety mainly for the lighter color.).
This bread was no exception! It’s more dense than my sandwich bread but just as soft, with the right amount of moistness in the crumb. Delicious on it’s own, but with a little salted ghee it’s absolutely amazing!
Bacon, Cheese And Spring Onion Soda Bread
This grain free Irish soda bread relies heavily on homemade dairy free buttermilk, made with a combination of coconut milk and vinegar or lemon juice.
It helps the bread rise (working with the baking soda) and gives it flavor as well. Here’s everything you’ll need to prepare the bread:
Preheat your oven to 400°F. You can use a baking sheet, 10” cast iron skillet or 9-10” cake pan for this recipe. Line your pan of choice with parchment paper and set aside.
Traditional Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread
Whisk together the coconut milk with the vinegar or lemon juice to make “buttermilk”. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and ghee or vegan butter together with the buttermilk you just made, and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the almond flour, tapioca and flaxseed meal. Then stir in the sugar, baking soda and salt plus the raisins. Pour in the buttermilk mixture and mix well, until no flour spots show. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Transfer the dough to the parchment-lined pan or skillet and gently use your hands or plastic spatula to round it out, with as much height as possible. Using a very sharp knife, score an X into the top. This helps the bread bake properly.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the bread is golden brown and center is cooked through, about 35-40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the bread has fully cooled, slice and serve as desired. Since some paleo breads can be too crumbly to cut into while warm, I recommend cooling the bread fully (or almost fully) before slicing.

It’s delicious with a little slather of salted ghee or grass-fed butter and it’s a great bread to have with dinner as well.
Cover and store the leftover bread at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
I hope you’re ready for a paleo twist on traditional Irish Soda Bread. Grab your ingredients and preheat your oven because it’s time to bake – let’s go!

Keto Irish Soda Bread
Don’t feel put out if you’ve never heard of soda bread. It’s simply a quick bread made with baking soda as the leavening agent, rather than baking powder or yeast.
Many cuisines have their own version of soda bread, as it’s faster and easier to make than yeast-leavened dough. And baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is inexpensive and easy to procure.
Irish soda bread comes in various forms, but the one that most people know on this side of the pond is lightly sweetened and contains raising or currants.

It’s a wonderful rustic-style bread that has a soft and tender center and a crusty exterior. And that shaggy looking exterior always reminds me of a giant scone!
Classic Irish soda bread takes flour, baking soda, butter, and buttermilk. The acid in the buttermilk reacts with the soda to create little bubbles that cause the bread to rise.
I took my cues for this recipe from one by Ina Garten. Her soda bread takes some egg, which helps give it more structure. I utilized egg whites to make the bread a little lighter as well.

Coconut flour would require changing the entire recipe, so I recommend using sunflower seed flour instead. You can use it 1:1 to replace the almond flour.
Absolutely! This keto Irish soda bread does not rely on the sweetener for consistency so anything you like best should work. You can also leave out the sweetener entirely, if you prefer.
This bread is great with anything! I like mine lightly toasted with a little butter. It’s only mildly sweet so it also goes well with soups and stews.
