Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with extra-large paper liners.

  2. Beat white sugar, butter, and lemon zest together with an electric mixer in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in ricotta cheese, followed by egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

  3. 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.

  4. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups; sprinkle 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar over each muffin.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out mostly clean with some crumbs, 26 to 28 minutes. 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.
