Another muffin recipe? 

Oh, yes! I'm still on my muffin kick. They are one of my favorite weekday morning breakfasts! 

I recently found some cherry chips in the Easter section at my local grocery store, and with cherry being one of my favorite flavors, I just knew I had to buy them.

Cherry chips are available all year round. If you can't find them at your local grocery store, they are available to order on Amazon here!

These muffins are absolutely wonderful! They are the perfect texture, and the mini cherry chips that we used, make every bite tasty.

We love them for a quick weekday breakfast or even weekend brunch. They are also great for snack or even pack them in a lunch box. 

If cherry chips aren't your thing, you can substitute any flavor chips. We absolutely love peanut butter or butterscotch!
