For best results, use fresh, plump cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before using. The batter can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. A sprinkle of coarse sugar on top of the muffins before baking adds a delightful sparkle and crunch. For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil. The rotating step will ensure even browning and doneness.
