Lemon Cranberry Muffins

---

I made these for my dad for father's day this year. The recipe comes from allrecipes.com. They're good, but i think mine need a little something extra. The recipe calls for lemon-extract, but i didn't have any, so instead i used the zest of one lemon, plus the juice from half. Still a little lacking in lemon flavour, so i think i'll make a lemon glaze to brush on top before i give them to him! I also omitted the almonds, as i was trying to make them as close to the muffins he buys on the road as i could! not overly sweet.
