Paleo Carrot and Raisin Muffins AMAZINGness

Oh my gosh, I would eat the batter if it didn't have raw eggs in it ..FABULOUS!!!!!

So I'll just be honest to say that I'm not into the whole paleo diet thing, I just like to cut how much gluten I eat because I just get more tired after eating it! However, I'm not into the whole EAT MEAT ALL DAY and all night thing.  I watched the documentary Forks Over Knives and I'm still feeling iffy on the whole meat idea.  I only eat it about 3-4 times a week because I just think we should be eating way more fruits and veggies.

But, I digress.  My friend told me about these fabulous paleo muffins, and I just HAD to give it a shot.  I mean look at all the pluses: 

• No added sugar
• No butter
• No gluten
• THERE'S VEGGIES
• THERE'S FRUIT
• And did I mention there are raisins in it? I just love raisins....

So, now that I've basically convinced everyone that they should try these muffins, I'll now share that I cannot take credit for them (Wah wah wah......) Instead, my friend shared them with me from a website! (But just think, I just made it so much easier for you to find delicious muffins, because I've already tried them!).

Okay, here's the recipe from Paleo Plan.

Oh and here's a picture :)
