Whole Wheat, Oatmeal & Raisin Muffins
I love these muffins. As a fitness trainer, I advocate eating every 3 hours so I start my morning with one of these because it's a complete mini-meal. And they are so delicious you will have a hard time eating just one. I also have a hard time keeping them in the house. My kids gobble them up like candy and I find myself with NONE! They are totally worth making.
