Chocolate Chip Muffins with Ricotta Cheese- Moist chocolate chip muffins made with smooth ricotta cheese. 

I have been making these muffins since 2011, the year I started my first food blog. The recipe comes from Skinnytaste and needs just a few ingredients.

They are great for breakfast, dessert or a snack!

Ingredients Needed:

• Self rising flour
• Baking soda
• Sugar
• Vanilla
• Egg white
• Ricotta cheese
• Mini chocolate chips

Recipe Notes:

• Self Rising Flour: None on hand? Replace it with 2 cups of AP flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
• Ricotta: The fat free version is going to lower your calories.  However, you can use full fat or low fat version too.
• Toppings: I topped ours with a little brown sugar and additional mini chocolate chips.  This is optional, but, it does give them a little extra something! 
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container. They are best eaten within a week.
• Freezing: Yes, you can freeze these. Let them cool completely, then, freeze in a freezer safe/covered container or storage bag.  They will be good for a couple of months.
