I made these to put into the freezer for mornings during the week, of course I had to try some. These were easy to make and the texture of the cornmeal will be a change from other muffins. These muffins are too sweet and will be liked by my family. Thank you!

Great tasting muffins, what with the combo of the berries, buttermilk & lemon! Being the lemon lover that I am, I did use a nicely rounded measure of the lemon zest! Definitely worth making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Awesome Awesome. I love a good corn muffin and the added cranberries in this recipe brings them up another notch in my opinion. What a lovely addition.<br/>Made for recipetag in KK's forum~

I love the tartness of the cranberries in this recipe. It gives them a great sweet/tart balance. I froze most of them to heat for weekday breakfasts, I'll let you know how the reheat!

These muffins came out good, considering that they are virtually fat free! The tartness of the cranberries blended nicely with the lemon flavoring. I did sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the unbaked muffins right before they went in the oven. Mad this for photo tag!
