    Notes

    1. Soak raisins in warm water for about 10 min to plump them up. Do this to make sure they won't affect the texture of the muffins.
    2. If you own a grater that has two sides use the side with larger holes for grating the apples and the smaller side for the carrots and ginger.
    3. The nutrition fact below does not include the frosting on top.
