Eggless oatmeal, banana, raisin muffin

This recipe is inspired from Tarla dalal's  cook book, "Healthy snacks for kids". Though the original recipe was about banana and walnut, I changed the recipe by including raisins and milk. Just to make the muffin a little more healthy, I have included corn meal we well. However, if corn meal is not handy, then you can increase the quantity of all purpose flour by half a cup. These muffins are wholesome, tasty and nutritious and are bursting with sweet raisins. They are also low on fat content, which makes them a more healthy way to start the day
