How to Make Vanilla Ricotta Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
