Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • zest of 1 lemon (approx 2 tablespoons)
  • juice of 1 lemon (approx 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Cup4Cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (use 1 1/2 cups for extra berry flavour!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line 12 muffin cups with muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and beat in ricotta cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt, until wet ingredients are just moistened. Gently fold in blueberries.

  4. Drop batter into each muffin cup, filling 3/4 full. Bake for 20-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and tops are springy to the touch.

  5. Let cool completely.
