Ricotta is a mild-flavored cheese that adds a moist and dense texture to anything you bake. In addition to the ricotta, these muffins use fresh blueberries and lemon. The combination of blueberries and lemons are perfect here, with the lemon bringing out the bright flavors of the blueberries without being overwhelming. Using ricotta in these muffins keeps them extra moist and soft, days after they are made. They are a great make-ahead muffin to have on hand for the week.
Just store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Ricotta Cheese: these muffins are best with full-fat ricotta cheese, but part skim works too! If you happen to have a watery ricotta, be sure to strain it before using. Lemon: here I use both lemon juice and lemon zest. The lemon adds a hint of flavor without being overwhelming.
