Blueberry & Ricotta Muffins

I read some really great chefs and cooks online and have come across hundreds of recipes I’d like to try at some point in time. However, when one of my favourite foodies comes out and says a recipe is ‘to die for’ – I know it’s worth the time to try out. 

These muffins did not disappoint – absolutely delicious. Simple to make, not too sweet, moist and mouthwatering delicious. Check out some of the other great Ciao Florentina recipes on her site.
