Strawberry ricotta muffins are a delightful treat that combine the sweet and tangy flavor of fresh strawberries with the creamy texture of ricotta cheese. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a tasty snack. By following this recipe, you'll be able to create a batch of delicious muffins that are sure to impress.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is light and frothy. Add the melted butter, milk, and ricotta cheese. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your muffins stay light and fluffy.
Carefully fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without mashing them too much.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing during baking.
Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden brown.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your strawberry ricotta muffins warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If fresh strawberries aren't available, you can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them well.
- To make the muffins even more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you like a bit of crunch, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar to the tops of the muffins before baking to create a sweet, crispy topping.
- To ensure even baking, rotate the muffin pan halfway through the baking time.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
There you have it – a simple yet delicious recipe for strawberry ricotta muffins. These muffins are not only flavorful but also have a wonderful texture thanks to the ricotta cheese. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven, or store them for a convenient and tasty treat later on. Happy baking!
