Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins- These pretty little muffins are perfect for Valentine’s Day, but they are so yummy you will want to serve them all year long!
Chocolate chips for breakfast are always a hit at my house. We also love toasted oat chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip scones, and chocolate chip pancakes.
I love cherries, chocolate, and almonds, so I really like these muffins. Of course, you can substitute pecans or walnuts, or just leave the nuts out altogether.
The granola adds fiber (who doesn’t need that!) and also makes them more filling. I love the way they look with the pretty pieces of cherry peeking out.
I was planning on storing some in the freezer for another day, but my family scarfed them all up. Next time I think I’ll make a double batch!Cherry Chocolate Chip Muffins
