Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of each muffin before baking for a sweet crunchy crust.
