I picked up a new recipe book at Costco the other day. It is Mollie Katzen's
Sunlight Cafe book and tried out these muffins today. They are really good.
Especially if you are a chocoholic like me.
I only make mini muffins and these make about 32 mini muffins, the recipe says
it makes 12 - 14 regular size muffins.
2 1/3 C. All Purpose flour 1 C. Ricotta Cheese
3/4 Tsp. Salt 2 Large Eggs
2 Tsp. Baking Powder 1 1/3 C. Milk
6 - 8 Tblsp. Unsweetened Cocoa 1 Tblsp. Vanilla Extract
1 C. Sugar 4 Tblsp. Butter, Melted
1 C. Chocolate Chips (semisweet)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, sugar and chocolate chips in
a medium sized
bowl.
In a second medium sized bowl, put the ricotta cheese and add the eggs, one
at a time, whisking
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
rubber spatula, stir from the bottom of the bowl until the dry ingredients are
all moistened. Don’t
over mix
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Fill the mini cups full.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 12 - 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted
into the center
comes out clean. Remove from the pan and let the muffins cool on a rack before
serving.
