Ingredients:

Serving

nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
6 -8 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1 cup sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup ricotta cheese (best with whole milk ricotta, but works with lowfat variety to further reduce fat content)
2 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly spray 12 standard-sized (2 1/2-inch-diameter) muffin cups with nonstick spray.
Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl.
Place the ricotta in a second medium-sized bowl, and add the eggs one at a time, beating well with a medium-sized whisk after each addition.
Add the milk and vanilla, and whisk until thoroughly blended.
Pour the ricotta mixture, along with the melted butter, into the dry ingredients.
Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, stir from the bottom of the bowl until the dry ingredients are all moistened.
Fold in the chips, but don't overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
For smaller muffins, fill the cups about 4/5 of the way.
For larger muffins, fill them even with the top of the pan.
If you have extra batter, spray one or two additional muffin cups with nonstick spray and put in as much batter as you have.
Bake in the middle of the oven for to 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven, then remove the muffins from the pan and place them on a rack to cool.
Wait at least 30 minutes before serving.
