Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins

---

These muffins won 2nd place in a king arthur flour contest. I've been making them since my kids were babies and have brought them to many functions. The yogurt makes them fluffy and the almond flavoring gives them a special bakery flavor. You can substitute pureed cottage cheese for the ricotta.
