Blueberry Lemon Lavender Muffins

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 9 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp culinary lavender or lavender buds if lavender buds used, it will be food processed with sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 lemon, zest only
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 1/4 cup frozen blueberries

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine sugar and culinary lavender. Massage the lavender into the sugar using your hands by squeezing through the sugar. If you are using lavender buds, I would recommend using a food processor to blend the sugar and lavender before massaging it in a bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and the lavender sugar mixture until blended.
  • Add egg, yogurt, and lemon zest. Mix until blended.
  • Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix until blended.
  • In a medium bowl, coat frozen blueberries in 1 Tbsp of flour. The flour coating gives the berries texture and prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffin while baking.
  • Gently fold flour coated blueberries into the batter.
  • In a lined muffin pan using muffin cups, spread batter into 9 muffin cups with batter filling up each cup approximately the same height.
  • Bake at 370 F for 20 to 30 minutes until tester comes out clean from the centre of the muffin. Cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan to cool on a rack.
