Lemon Ricotta Muffins



OK, so these muffins may not necessarily be the most sustainable of treats (they do require a lemon, which does not grow anywhere near where I live) but they are super yummy!

What you Need:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar (or for a healthier treat, substitute 2/3 cup agave sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tbl. lemon zest
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbl lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

What you Do:
  • Beat sugar (or agave), butter and zest. Add ricotta. Add egg, lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Mix the flour, baking powder and baking soda into the wet mixture
  • Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes in prepared (greased) muffin tins.
