These Carrot Raisin and Walnut Muffins are light, fluffy, and not too sweet and the cinnamon makes the muffins smell and taste amazing.
Why do I love making muffins? I love making muffins because it makes a great breakfast or snack for the kids. They can feed themselves for breakfast without having to depend on me. They are nutritionally dense when made from scratch.
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of raisins in your food. I can eat raisins on their own, but I’m not a big fan when it comes to adding them to my food. But for these muffins, there is an exception. I was very surprised by how delicious these muffins are, and you can not just eat one.

How much cinnamon?
Thank you for catching that. I didn’t put how much cinnamon goes in the muffins. So I re-tested the recipe to make sure they still came out delicious, and they did. For the cinnamon, it’s 1 teaspoon. I will update the recipe card.
