Berry ricotta muffins

Berry ricotta muffins are a delightful treat combining the fluffy texture of ricotta cheese with the tart sweetness of fresh blueberries. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins are easy to prepare and sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter
70g
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
170g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
1 cup blueberries
150g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
2. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Ricotta and Vanilla:
- Add the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
4. Incorporate the Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Mix in the Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
6. Add the Milk:
- Pour in the milk and gently fold it into the batter until fully combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
7. Fold in the Blueberries:
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter with a spatula, being careful not to overmix, which could break the berries.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
9. Bake the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a creamy consistency.

- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to prevent them from bursting and staining the mixture.

- Use a muffin liner or grease the muffin tin well to ensure the muffins come out easily after baking.

- Don't overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid dense muffins.

- You can substitute the blueberries with other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor.

With their moist texture and delightful berry flavor, these berry ricotta muffins are a perfect combination of convenience and taste. Whether you're serving them for breakfast or as a delightful snack, these muffins are sure to impress. Enjoy your baking!
