Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with extra-large paper liners.
Step 2
Beat white sugar, butter, and lemon zest together with an electric mixer in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in ricotta cheese, followed by egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture until just combined, batter will be thick. Carefully fold in blueberries.
Step 4
Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups; sprinkle 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar over each muffin.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into centers comes out mostly clean with some crumbs, 26 to 28 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
