lemon cranberry muffins

I was cleaning out the freezer, and I noticed that I had some cranberries left over from Thanksgiving.  I hopped online and searched for cranberry muffins since it has been a while since I have made muffins.  I found this recipe for lemon cranberry muffins so I made them.  They were delicious so I am sharing them with you.  See the pattern?  LOL

  2. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together.

  5. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.

  7. Scoop into lined muffin cups, about 2/3 full, and bake 18-20 minutes, making sure that finished muffins pass the toothpick test.

I have to warn you that these are tart; everyone at work loved them, but they did mention that they were tart (don't expect anything too sweet from me ;o) )
