For a nuttier flavor, try toasting the oats lightly before adding them to the dry ingredients. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. If you don't have fresh cranberries, frozen ones can be used. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter. To prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins, toss them lightly with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for longer storage.
