Instructions

Ingredients for the Muffins:

2 cups, all purpose flour

1 tsp, baking soda

¼ tsp, salt

1 cup, granulated sugar

½ cup, coconut oil, solidified

1 tbsp, lemon zest

1 egg

1 cup, part-skim ricotta cheese

1 tbsp, lemon juice

½ tsp, vanilla extract

Ingredients for Lemon Thyme Butter Topping

3 tbsp, unsalted butter

1 tbsp, lemon juice

1 tsp, dried thyme

Directions:

  • Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with oil. Preheat the oven to 350° F.

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  • With an electric mixer on low speed, beat the sugar, coconut oil, and lemon zest in a large bowl.

  • On low speed, beat in the egg. Beat in the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined and fluffy.

  • Beat in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until fully combined.

  • Scoop approx. ⅓ cup of muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin.

  • Bake in the oven for 25-28 minutes until muffins are lightly browned on the top.

  • Prepare the lemon thyme butter topping. Melt butter with the lemon juice in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir in the thyme. Set aside to drizzle on your muffins.

  • Remove muffins from the oven and let cool in the tin for a ~5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

Serve and enjoy warm or cold!
