Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
