Notes

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Opt for plump, juicy blueberries and zesty lemons for maximum flavor.
  • Creamy Ricotta Perfection: Use high-quality, creamy ricotta cheese for moist and tender muffins.
  • Balanced Moisture: Combine coconut milk and full-fat whole milk for a rich and creamy texture.
  • Zesty Lemon Zest: Enhance the lemony goodness with a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest for that burst of flavor.
  • Streusel Topping Magic: Create a crunchy, sweet topping using coconut oil, brown sugar, and a touch of lemon sugar for a delightful contrast.
  • Gently Fold Blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter to prevent them from bursting and ensure even distribution.
  • Mindful Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture in your muffins.
  • Perfect Portions: Fill muffin cups two-thirds full to achieve the ideal muffin shape while allowing room for the streusel topping to shine.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, ensuring they're fully cooked yet moist.
  • Storage Savvy: Store leftovers in an airtight container to preserve freshness and keep them moist for longer. Enjoy these lemon blueberry ricotta muffins as a delightful treat or quick breakfast option!
