Chocolate Ricotta Muffins

These are like eating dessert for breakfast, but they're healthy! This recipe is directly from the Molly Katzen website.

2 1/3 c. flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
6-8 Tbl. unsweetened cocoa (I use the full amt.)
1 c. sugar
1 c. chocolate chips (I use mini-chips or pbutter chips)
1 c. ricotta cheese (full fatted is best, but low fat works)
2 large eggs
1 1/3 c. milk ( I use non-fat)
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
4 Tbl. canola oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray, or paper line, 18 muffin cups.

In a medium bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, sugar, and chocolate chips. In a second bowl combine the ricotta, eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil. Add the flour mix and stir until moistened--don't overmix.

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, or use an ice cream scoop. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on rack.
