Step-by-Step Instructions for Ricotta Chocolate Chip Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, oil, milk, ricotta cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust the tops with powdered sugar before serving.
