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.
