let us talk about the healthy ingredients in this muffin recipe…

fresh lemons,

Lemons have been known to keep the heart healthy for hundreds of years. Vitamin C is essential in helping your body absorb iron and maintain a proper blood clotting process, which is why it’s so important to get enough of this vital vitamin from food sources. You can get enough vitamin C from these easy-to-make lemon ricotta muffins.

Beyond keeping your heart healthy, lemons are great for digestive health, a significant health benefit for adherents of a gluten-free diet. Lemons contain soluble fiber and simple sugar, with the primary one being pectin.

Soluble fiber aids and improves gut health while slowing down the digestion of sugar and starches. This attribute makes lemon juice a food ingredient that helps to reduce blood sugar levels.

ricotta,

Calcium is also present in ricotta cheese in large amounts. Calcium helps us maintain healthy bones and keeps our muscles functioning. I could go on and on about the nutritional benefits of ricotta, but you can deduce that this is a healthy ingredient that makes this easy lemon ricotta muffins a must-try.
