Carrot muffins with raisins and walnuts

 

I am a bit more in the kitchen (although one with an actual cooker and sink is not in place yet) so i am trying to cook more for my children. Boogie is always asking for muffins and cookies so yesterday i obliged myself and baked some. I tried to make them as healthy as possible so that my 9 month old baby can at least taste some.
