Ricotta Berry Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with extra-large paper cupcake liners.
• Beat white sugar, butter, and lemon zest together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in ricotta cheese, followed by egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into butter mixture until just combined; batter will be thick. Carefully fold in blueberries.
• Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of turbinado sugar over each muffin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out mostly clean with some crumbs, 26 to 28 minutes. Remove muffins from the oven and carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin tin, or fit the molds with paper muffin cups.
• Whisk the ricotta, eggs and vanilla together, then stir in the melted butter.
• Working in a large bowl and using your fingertips, rub the sugar and lime zest together until the sugar is moist and fragrant. Switch to a whisk and stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Put the ricotta mixture on top of the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend-don't worry about being thorough. The batter will be thick and heavy and that's fine. Stir in the blueberries.
• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin molds, slide the pan into the oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes. When fully baked, the tops of the muffins will be golden, springy to the touch and a knife inserted into the center of the muffins will come out clean. Pull the pan from the oven and carefully lift each muffin out of its mold and onto a rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 12 muffin pans with paper liners.
• In a medium sized bowl, whisk the ricotta cheese and then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cooled and melted butter, mixing well. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
• Add the buttermilk and egg mixture to the flour mixture.
• Stir just until combined and then fold in the cherries.
• Divide the batter amongst the 12 muffin cups.
• Place in the oven and bake about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
