Delicious muffin! Moist inside and chewy texture outside, from the oats. Just the right amount of sweetness to counter the cranberries, but still lets the tart come through. The lemon is subtle, and I might add more next time. I made 6 Jumbo muffins.

I made these twice. The first time I used large oats, they were very tasty but did not rise at all. The second time I used quick oats, and did not rise and were so dry that we could not eat them. If Tim Horton's served these muffins they would go out of business.
