Lemon Ricotta Muffins

I often have leftover ricotta cheese when I make dishes like gluten-free baked ziti, and I hate letting it go to waste. Baking with leftover ricotta is my favorite way to use it. Planning multiple recipes with a single ingredient is also a great way to reduce food costs.

Rich, chocolate muffins are easy to make with little fuss, and taste just as good as those from a bakery. The key is buttermilk for a tender crumb. An inexpensive substitute for the buttermilk in this recipe is ½ cup milk + 1½ teaspoons white vinegar. Mix, then let sit for 5 minutes before using. I use Dutch-processed cocoa powder in this recipe, which I buy in bulk at Costco which is currently under $8 for a 25-ounce bag.
