Ingredients
-
1 cup white sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
-
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
-
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
-
1 large egg
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups fresh blueberries
-
¼ cup turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®) (Optional)
Directions
-
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.
Cook's Note:
This can also be made into 24 standard-sized muffins. Set a timer for 15 minutes and check frequently until done when baking.
