Cooking Instructions:

In a food processor or blender, grind the oatmeal powder, then put the oatmeal powder in large bowl. Add flour, 1 cup (250 ml) sugar, baking powder and salt and stir with a whisk. Add the butter, using two knives, work the mixture until it assumed the appearance of coarse crumbs.

In a bowl, a whisk, beat milk with egg. Pour milk mixture over dry ingredients. Sprinkle cranberries and lemon zest and mix until dough is moist but not more (do not overmix). Using a spoon, spread batter into greased muffin tins or lined with paper liners (fill the molds to three quarters).

In a small bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle tops of muffins to sweeten the mixture. Bake in preheated 400 F (200 C) 25 to 30 minutes or until tops are firm to the touch.
