Lavender Blueberry Muffins
The BEST Lavender Blueberry Muffins ever! These muffins are soft, fluffy and they're SO simple to make!
Is there anything that takes you back to your childhood like a blueberry muffin? My mom rotated between blueberry muffins and banana bread just about every morning.
When I was coming up with this recipe, I knew I wanted it to be super easy to make for busy moms and those of us always on the go. These muffins can be made in no time!
The little touch of edible lavender takes these muffins to another level! You can find lavender at Whole Foods or specialty food stores OR you can make you life a lot easier and buy it on amazon like I did. Linked HERE.
Hate the taste of lavender (if that's possible)? Leave it out and go for a classic blueberry muffin!

How to cook Lavender Blueberry Muffins
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil, eggs, milk and vanilla.
- Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and gently fold it in until almost combined. Then fold in the blueberries and dried lavender. Do NOT over-mix or the muffins will become dense. Scoop into lined muffin pan and set aside.
- For the Topping:
- Add all the ingredients into a bowl and mash together using a fork or your hands until it holds together and looks like crumbs. Sprinkle over muffins.
- Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a drying rack.
