Time 40m

Yield 12 large muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 -8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup ricotta cheese (best with whole milk ricotta, but works with lowfat variety to further reduce fat content)
2 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk or 1 1/3 cups 2% low-fat milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (canola oil can be substituted for all or part of the butter)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly spray 12 standard-sized (2 1/2-inch-diameter) muffin cups with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Place the ricotta in a second medium-sized bowl, and add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a medium-sized whisk after each addition.
  • Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk until thoroughly blended.
  • Pour the ricotta mixture, along with the melted butter, into the dry ingredients.
  • Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, stir from the bottom of the bowl until the dry ingredients are all moistened.
  • Fold in the chips, but don't overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  • For smaller muffins, fill the cups about 4/5 of the way.
  • For larger muffins, fill them even with the top of the pan.
  • If you have extra batter, spray one or two additional muffin cups with nonstick spray and put in as much batter as you have.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for to 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, then remove the muffins from the pan and place them on a rack to cool.
  • Wait at least 30 minutes before serving.

RICOTTA, WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP, AND WALNUT MUFFINS



Ricotta, White Chocolate Chip, and Walnut Muffins image

This produces a very thick batter so hand mixing is best (unless you have a kitchen aid, which I do not). Also the batter is very sticky and I found that my second batch was easier to work with after it stood. The choice is up to you but I will let mine stand next time before filling the muffin cups. These little treasures taste wonderful with a cuppa afternoon coffee.

1 cup low-fat ricotta
1/2 cup canola oil
1 egg
1 cup sugar
