Crumb Topping:
1 cup Flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup softened margarine or butter

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Stir in the softened butter with fork.  Mixture should be crumbly.  Set aside.

 Muffins:

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup liquid honey
2 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanila
1 1/2 cups pitted cherries (I used our own home grown sour cherries)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Blend flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl whisk honey, eggs, oil until combined. Beat in the milk and vanilla, and add the flour mixture, mixing until smooth. Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips. Do not over mix.

Spoon the batter into muffin tins lined with paper. Fill approximately 3/4 full, then top each muffin with a tablespoon of the crumb topping mix.

Bake in preheated – 350 Degree Oven – for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let muffins cool in pan before removing.
