Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and dried lavender until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

Step 5

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optional: Dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your delicious Lemon Lavender Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
