Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and spray them lightly with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta, water, oil, zest, juice and egg. Add to the dry ingredients. Stir just until moist.
