When I made my delicious Keto Almond Carrot Cake recipe, it was so good that we ate it a little too quickly. So I figured it was a good idea not to make any more for awhile. So I just made Keto Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Ricotta instead. Haha! For this recipe, I used True Lemon in packets. I am not sure how much the True Lemon added to this, or whether I’d just try lemon juice next time, but what I do know is that the Ricotta makes it quite creamy and delicious. I was surprised by their lightness and the crumb they yielded, which isn’t always easy with gluten-free baking.
How Do You Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins From Scratch?
Step 1: Put all ingredients together in a large bowl. Step 2: Look at those gorgeous eggs! I just had to show you the eggs. Step 3: Beat until fluffy. Step 4: Line a muffin pan with paper liners and divide the batter evenly. Step 5: Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes until done. Step 6: Try not to eat them all by yourself. Sharing is caring!
Why Use Ricotta Cheese?
Basically what you are getting when using ricotta cheese is the moistness and fat. Acidity and fat combine together to help baking doughs rise. The lemon in this adds the requisite acidity. The ricotta cheese add some moistness and fat. Using ricotta cheese is a nice change from using cream cheese or regular cream in a recipe. It also adds a slightly creamy mouthfeel feel that’s actually quite pleasant, which is especially enjoyable in this recipe. Also, ricotta cheese is lower in carbs than cream cheese. And when you’re counting carbs in your diet, those little differences in carb content add up! You might also enjoy my Keto Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake made in your Instant pot.
