Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk (almond milk for dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary-grade lavender buds, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Gently fold in blueberries, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Scatter reserved blueberries on top.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While muffins cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, ground lavender buds, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed.
  10. Drizzle the lavender glaze over cooled muffins and let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Toss blueberries lightly in flour before folding to prevent sinking. Use culinary-grade lavender buds finely ground for best flavor. Avoid overmixing batter to keep muffins fluffy. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or vegan butter and almond or oat milk.
