How to Make Ricotta Berry Muffins

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray, or line with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 15 ounces (425g) ricotta cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in 4 tablespoons (57g) melted unsalted butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Gently pour the ricotta mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold until just combined. Don't overmix!
Fold in 1 ½ cups (190g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw).
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
