Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins

Made, Written, & Photographed by the Creators of the Point

I recently learned that Tyler doesn't like muffins. I don't know what's wrong with him, but that only means more muffins for me!

This recipe is one that I'd be happy to keep all to myself. They're kind of your typical chocolate chip muffins, but they have that added cherry flavor to make them something special. The crunchy top is also a level of deliciousness not all muffins have.
