It’s time once again for Muffin Monday, and this month I decided to share my recipe for cherry chocolate chip recipes which is a bit different from the usual chocolate chip muffin recipes.

The Montmorency cherries in this are just slightly tart, and combined with the deep dark chocolate flavors of the bittersweet baking chips, balance each other nicely. The crystal sugars I used on top are a bit larger than the grain of granulated sugar, so be careful when substituting there.
The bloggers of Muffin Monday have a nice collection of recipes to share with you this moth, so be sure to continue scrolling past the recipe and see those listed on the lower portion of the post.
I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as we do!
