Whole Wheat Carrot Muffins | Healthy Muffins

If you are regular to my space and haven't noticed yet, I love carrot bakes!! It is my next favorite flavor to chocolate. There are a few carrot bakes that I've already posted and here comes another healthy carrot muffins. I love baking these lovely muffins loaded with goodness. These little goodies tastes absolutely delicious! Of course the texture will be little different since we are using whole wheat but still this is one of my most favorite muffin recipe.
I have already posted an eggless version of carrot muffins but I prefer using eggs and butter while making muffins for kids and this recipe is perfect!

Notes
1. The texture of whole wheat muffin/cake is slightly denser than maida(APF) cakes so make sure your batter is not too thick.
2. I added 1 tbsp extra milk since my batter was thick.
3. The original recipe used chocolate chips but I used raisins, the choice is your's.
4. I have made these muffins using jaggery too. Use slightly less than 1/3 cup, adjust to taste.
