Tips:
- Fresh cranberries: When cranberries are in season, use fresh ones for the best flavor. Make sure they are plump and firm, with no signs of bruising or mold.
- Muffin liners: Use muffin liners to make cleanup easier. If you don't have muffin liners, you can grease and flour the muffin tins instead.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin tins ¾ full: Fill the muffin tins ¾ full to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
