SUPER Healthy Whole Wheat Raisin and Pecan Muffins

I was in another baking mood and decided to make some muffins to take to my mommy on Saturday.  It's been a while since I brought her any treats so I wanted these to be good.  I didn't really have many ingredients on hand (I know...SHOCKING!) but I always have raisins and nuts!  (I keep my nuts in the freezer for a longer shelf life.  A trick I learned from Rachael Ray)  I know my mommy is always into healthy stuff so whole wheat was the way to go.  These muffins turned out great and just sweet enough from the brown sugar and raisins.  The pecans also added a nice crunch and we all know my mommy LOVES anything with nuts in it!  I can't wait for her to try these!
