In a separate bowl, sift together flours, spices and baking soda. Add slowly to creamed mixture and mix until smooth. Do not over mix.
Drain raisins well and scale out to desired final weight. Fold walnuts and raisins into dough; mix together.
Portion 3.9 ounces (110 grams) of batter into each greased or paper-lined muffin cup.
