To make Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Gems, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

This recipe makes 12 Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Gems.
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the gems are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the gems to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Gems are a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The ricotta cheese adds a creamy texture to the gems, while the lemon zest and blueberries provide a burst of freshness. These gems are perfect for a brunch or afternoon tea, and can be served warm or at room temperature.
