Ingredients
  

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if out of season)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with cooking spray.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

      Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, until everything is fully blended.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.

              Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy your fluffy blueberry ricotta muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a delightful treat!
