Yummy Cherry Chocolate Chunk Muffins

I dream about muffins. I think that might be strange because most people don’t think of them as that exciting but I do! Before I really knew anything about baking, I used to think cupcakes and muffins were very similar; boy, was I wrong. Muffins are a quick bread base, meaning the crumb is quite large and they come together very easily simply by adding the wet ingredients to the dry mixed ingredients. Then, it’s baked up.

Cupcakes are usually made with sugar and butter creaming together first. And usually ends with milk and flour being alternated. The ratios are different too!

I won’t get too detailed but I will say that muffins are way easier than mastering cupcakes. And they require zero frosting skills!

These combine delicious chocolate chunks with fruit and fresh cherries. I love cherries and whenever I see them at the market, I get super excited because it means SUMMER!
