Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 12-cup jumbo muffin tin by lining it with extra-large paper liners. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, softened butter, and lemon zest using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Beat in the ricotta cheese until smooth and fully incorporated. Then, add the egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Sprinkle approximately 1 teaspoon of turbinado sugar over the top of each muffin for a delightful, crunchy sweetness. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 26 to 28 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. (26-28 minutes)

10

Step

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. (15-20 minutes)

For the best texture, use high-quality, fresh ricotta cheese. Drain any excess liquid before adding it to the batter.
Gently toss the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. Mix until just combined.
The turbinado sugar adds a lovely crunch and sweetness to the tops of the muffins, but it can be omitted if desired.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    Best muffins I ever had!

    I used frozen blueberries and they worked great. Just tossed them in flour first like someone suggested and didn't have any color bleed.
