Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine ricotta cheese, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped strawberries carefully to avoid breaking them up.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, sprinkle the muffin tops with a little coarse sugar before baking to create a slight crunchy crust.
