Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and dried lavender until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
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.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
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.
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.
Optional: Dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Lemon Lavender Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
