The best, fluffiest blueberry ricotta muffins with streusel topping ever!
What could be better than to die for blueberry muffins loaded with ricotta cheese right? Okay, maybe a luscious lemon glaze if you must!
Browsing through this journal you probably figured out by now that I am not much of a baker, but when I do bake, it is most likely something with ricotta cheese in the mix. That stuff makes my world go around!
You know you could easily turn these into banana or Chocolate Muffins by just making a couple of simple changes. Like substituting the blueberries in the recipe below with diced banana or dark chocolate chips, and adding some melted chocolate to the batter.
You could even bake it into a loaf, just like a banana bread, or even better in a bundt cake pan for an even more impressive presentation.
The recipe calls for coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil. So much better than vegetable or canola, but feel free to substitute with melted butter If you must, and coconut milk instead of regular cow’s milk.
The ultimate secret here is to not overmix the batter. Folding the dry and wet ingredients together is key. You can do this!
