Drain cranberries. In a small bowl, combine cranberries, blueberries, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons flour. Toss to coat berries. Gently fold berries into batter. Fill each muffin tin 2/3 full with batter. Bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Let muffins cool 3 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
