Cooking Tips:

Add chopped walnuts to make these muffins even healthier and tastier!

We used homemade applesauce for our muffins, because apples were in season and we just happened to have made applesauce. You don't need to do that - unless you want to! Any good quality unsweetened applesauce will do.

Another secret to the sweet moistness of these muffins, besides the applesauce, is 'plumping' the raisins in hot water before adding.
