- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, ricotta cheese, oil, cream, honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and vanilla until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold ricotta cheese mixture into flour mixture until just combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in raspberries.

Notes
- Bake mini muffins for approximately 15 minutes, regular muffins for 20, and jumbo muffins for 30 minutes.
- If using frozen berries, allow to thaw while preparing other ingredients. Drain any liquid, then shake thawed berries in a sandwich bag, or carefully toss in a bowl, with a little flour (about 1-2 teaspoons) to coat them.
- Store cooled muffins in zip bags or airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
