Lavender and lemon go together so beautifully, why not make them into a muffin? These muffins are light, fragrant, and simply divine, perfect for any afternoon tea or a morning on the go!

Ingredients 

  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of dried lavender buds
  • 1 lemon 
  • 1/2 cup of softened  butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk 
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

Recipe

  1. In a food processor or high-speed blender, mix the sugar, lavender, and the zest of the lemon. This way everything gets evenly combined and you don’t get big chunks of anything running through the muffins 
  2. Take out 1/4 cup of the sugar mixture and leave it to the side. 
  3. Use the remaining sugar mixture and cream it with butter with an electric hand mixer until it’s lightened in color. Crack in the eggs and continue to beat. 
  4. Put the honey, non-dairy milk, juice from the lemon, and vanilla extract into the bowl and mix. 
  5. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix in the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into the wet ingredients. 
  6. Pour batter into a muffin tin evenly, and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. 
  7. Cool, and enjoy!
