Irish Soda Bread (Muffins) image

When my husbands Grandma kept throwing her teeth in the trash at the nursing home, they eventually stopped letting her keep them in her room (trust me, this was a good decision!!) Unfortunately, this also meant that it was harder for her to eat certain food and crusty breads were in that category. So I set out to make an Irish Soda Bread she could easily eat. So here it is, my Irish Soda Bread muffins! Nothing like traditional Irish Soda Bread, they are a soft buttery muffin with raisins. Very easy for my senior citizen friends at the nursing home to eat.

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
