Peanut Butter and Raisin Muffins -- no sweetener, no grain, no gluten, no foolin'

I make these simple, sweetner-free muffins that include such things as nuts and some dried fruit because they make a great breakfast for my son. He likes them split in half with butter on them. They are also a great snack on the go. The lack of grain and lack of sugar prevent any insulin spikes, and give plenty of blood sugar stabilizing protein and fat. Remember kids: fat burns as fuel, and sugar stores as fat. And sugar makes you hungrier because it destabilizes your blood-sugar.
