A Gluten-Free Cherry and Chocolate Muffin recipe not to be missed. What could be better than a freshly baked muffin? Add fresh cherries and chocolate chips, and you have a winner. You will find that this muffin is wonderfully moist, light, chocolaty and studded with fresh cherries. This gluten-free cherry and chocolate muffin will melt in your mouth with deliciousness in every bite!
