I think muffins are fantastic weekend breakfasts, specially if you do whole wheat and cut down on processed sugar in it. They are a perfect treat to the soul after a tiring week. These lemon and cranberry muffins, with the tartness of lemon and cranberry are winners every time I make them. So make your Sunday morning interesting with these muffins.

Cranberries are usually associated with Thanksgiving celebrations and actually can be used in so many ways. Try cranberry sauce or drinks or just dried cranberries like I used to make muffins! I think cranberries are the most awesome way to include ‘super food’ in your diet. They are full of antioxidants and very nutritious. I do remember reading somewhere about cranberries lowering the risk of urinary tract infections and improving the immune system. They are a great source of Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

And lemons…oh well, I love love love citrusy fruits and lemon is something I love to squeeze over almost everything. Be it chaat, dal, even rice, curries, a dash of lemon and the whole dish is elevated to another level in itself! The smell of lemon is so heavenly, right? It reminds me of lip smacking dishes, yumm! The zest of lemon is so commonly used in baking! And it just makes the muffins or cake smell so much more delicious! I am a big fan of anything zesty and lemony 🙂

Before jumping to the recipe, here are a few baked goodies with a lemon flavor and trust me, they were super delicious!
