Blueberry Ricotta Muffins


This is the best sugar free blueberry muffin, ever! Loaded with those gorgeous berries and fluffy-light, they are perfect with some melted butter and a cup of coffee. 

In the recipe I've made them regular size, but you could certainly use the mini-muffin tin, too. And they would be great with frozen raspberries or blackberries instead!
