Cannoli Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese, plus
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice, plus
2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice (fresh is best, but store-bought works too)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 - 2/3 cup vegetable oil (a tad over 1/4, a tad under 2/3)
3 tablespoons orange zest, finely grated
1 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line the pan with muffin liners.
In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In medium-size bowl, whisk eggs, milk, juice, sugar, oil and zest, sour cream, vinegar, and ricotta. Make a well in flour mixture; pour in egg mixture and chocolate chips. Stir until dry ingredients are just moistened (although, be sure to not over-mix for it will result in overly-tough muffins).
Spoon approximately 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Remove pans to wire rack to cool 5 minutes. Serve.
