Raisin, Cranberry & Banana Muffin

Usually Muffin we bought from the store make contain lots of butter, milk which is quite a unhealthy snack/dessert. Suddenly I have a urge of making a batch of healthy muffin since is not easy to find healthy muffin from store make.

I source recipe from my books and change the ingredient myself to make some healthy muffin. On hands I have raisin, cranberry and banana. So I decided to combine the fruits and give it a try of the taste.

The texture and taste of this muffin is acceptable for me but I believe is not for those who are looking for a moist and fluffy muffin. The muffin is quite dry and coarse but a little bit chewy. At least I don't feel guilty after munch down this healthy muffin. ;)
