These were pretty good. I added the juice of my lemon and they had a nice mild lemon taste. I think they had more of the texture of a scone than a muffin. I made them to sell in a fundraiser at church and they were quickly gone! Thanks! -
Mandy these are a very nice muffin that are not overly dense. I love the addition of the wheat flour. I wish there was a bit more zing from the lemon - maybe it is because I do not have fresh lemons off a tree so I'm thinking a squeeze or two from the lemon itself might be great next time. I served them to an adult class at church and they went fast! Love dried cranberries so this recipe will be made again! Thanks for sharing in 123 Hits for my tag. -
These are great; both tangy and sweet. A nice change from the usual muffins. The cranberries cooked up soft and flavorful. I'd never cooked with dried fruit before, and these turned out as good as fresh cranberries. The muffin dough is moist and chewy. I could taste the lemon, but for my personal preference next time I'll add some lemon juice to the dough, in addition to the lemon zest. These are muffins that I'll have on hand for breakfast, a snack, or a brunch. Thanks for posting this recipe, Mandy -- it's a winner!

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
