Blueberry Lavender Muffin Recipe

I have a huge lavender plant growing in my backyard and I often think of ways to use it besides the obvious potpourri, candles and bath salts. I thought at first why would I want to eat something that reminds me of perfume and toiletries? But give me a challenge and I’m diving right in.

So I made a few batches of test cookies and bread and then I thought ‘cupcakes?,’ which turned into breakfast muffins with lavender. So after all of the toying around in the kitchen the final product is a light and fluffy lavender muffin with the addition of fresh blueberries and a hint of lemon because it blends so nicely with the two.

The transformation possibilities of food are amazing, after eating these muffins I have a whole new respect for lavender and will never again think of it as strictly a bathroom complement. You simply have to try this blueberry lavender muffin recipe to understand how awesome it is! Looking to cook muffins but can’t find any lavender?
