Ingredients

    2 cups flour
    1/2 cup sugar
    21/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 cup ricotta cheese
    1/2 cup milk
    4 tblsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
    2 eggs
    zest of 2 lemons
    1 cup blueberries

Tips

Other berries can substitute for the blueberries. I like to freeze the berries before adding them into the batter. then they don't get smashed!


Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a large bowl, use electric mixer to blend ricotta, milk, and butter until completely blended. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add lemon zest and mix well.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ones and mix together just until it becomes incorporated. Add the blueberries and fold in. (the batter will be firm - if too dry, add a splash of milk.) Divide batter evenly into 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops are a light golden brown. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes, then remove muffins from pan and let cool completely (if you can wait that long!)
