Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
- 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.
- Add the ricotta cheese and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
- Pour in the milk and gently fold it into the batter until fully combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the batter with a spatula, being careful not to overmix, which could break the berries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- 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.
- 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!
