Lemon Ricotta Pear Muffins with Pistachio Oat Streusel ( x Saputo)

Aaaaaaand we are back to regularly scheduled programming. Except not really. Because I have never had a “regular schedule” on this blog despite how much I want one. Maybe that should be my new year’s resolution. I will make that my resolution. I will even write it down because writing it down makes it more official. That is how it works, right?

Hi! Happy New Year! I am kicking off the new year with the first batch of muffins to grace this blog! New year, new me – am I doing this correctly? I did not really make any resolutions for the new year. I made some quasi-resolutions as of eight seconds ago. Can they still be thrown under the general label of ‘resolutions’ if they do not have concrete end points or run on a predetermined timeline? Whatever they are labelled, here are some things I hope you will see come to fruition on this blog.

  1. I know for certain that I want to be more active on this blog. Maybe even more than once a week if I am being really ambitious. 
  2. I also want to branch out to more than just layered cakes. Contrary to what my blog might suggest, I do bake more than just layer cakes. I would say I make cookies more often than I make cake. There is a greater amount of cake recipes here because photographing and styling cakes is something that comes more naturally to me.
  3. Spend less money on food styling props/bakeware that I will only use once. I am just such a sucker for everything inside Anthropologie.
  4. Stop breaking all my rubber spatulas
  5. Stop eating an entire cake when developing a recipe and “taste testing”

Wish me luck with these resolutions.

Back to muffins!

When I am at a cafe or a bakery, muffins are usually not my go-to. I much prefer rich viennoiseries or a big slice of coffeecake. I also really love savoury scones. But when muffins have streusel or crumb topping, that is a whole different story. I am a huge sucker for streusel. I believe that most things are better with streusel. Bars, muffins, ice cream sundaes, you name it. When Saputo reached out to me to create a muffin with their ricotta cheese, I knew it had to be topped with streusel. In this case, a pistachio oat streusel. I love the texture and extra sweetness and nuttiness that this streusel brings to the dreamy lemon ricotta muffins. These muffins are also studded with mini cubes of pears folded in the batter. Because of both the pears and the ricotta, these muffins are and stay incredibly moist. 

You can find the recipe for these lemon ricotta pear muffins on Saputo’s website here. Thank you, Saputo, for supporting this blog! You can find other great sweet and savoury recipes on their website. While you are baking, I will be working v hard on making those resolutions happen.

✨🏮 lantern festival 🏮✨ marks the last da ✨🏮 lantern festival 🏮✨ marks the last day of chinese new year and one of the best parts about the festival is eating tong yuen (glutinous rice balls). instead of serving traditional sesame-filled glutinous rice balls this year, i am adding homemade taro and yam glutinous rice balls into one of my favourite traditional chinese dessert soups, 芋頭西米露 (taro and sago pearls in coconut milk). i shaped my taro and yam glutinous rice ball dough into hearts and stars because family is an important theme during chinese new year and serving heart-shaped tong yuen to my family is extra meaningful to me. to those that celebrate chinese and lunar new year, i hope you had a wonderful and safe celebration this year and may year of the ox bring you and your loved ones so much happiness. recipe is on the blog — link in the biooooo!
