How To Make Them

1. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
2. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
3. Mix together the butter, sugar, egg, and olive oil in a large bowl until fully combined.
4. Once mixed, add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
5. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt in a separate bowl.

Chef’s Tips

• Check your muffins after they bake for 20 minutes to see how close to done they are. If a toothpick still has moist crumbs attached when inserted into the middle, let them continue to cook and check every few minutes until the toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the muffins cool before eating or removing from the tin!
• We topped our muffins with some powdered erythritol instead of powdered sugar, but lemon icing would also be absolutely delicious!
• If you’re on a strict gluten free diet, make sure your baking powder is gluten free.
