Eggless Carrot Banana Wheat Muffins | Healthy Muffins

I baked these muffins for my family as I was looking for healthy recipes to participate in a Healthy Bake contest. I tried out the Choco Banana Whole Wheat Muffins, Millet Cookies and this muffin recipe. All three turned out to be fabulous! 

My family loved this muffin, it's healthy and delicious. You won't miss the refined flour! The texture of a whole wheat muffin is different from the texture of a muffin made with all purpose flour but still it's equally tasty and yum and you don't feel guilty making it for your family!

Notes
1. I did not add walnuts since my kids are not fond of them, instead I added some extra raisins.
2. If your batter is thick, add little more milk. 
3. For a whole wheat recipe, the batter must be little loose otherwise you will get a very dense muffin. 




Until next time,
