Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with butter or line it with muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and egg. Stir well to combine these wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix as this could result in tough muffins.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and dried lavender buds. Distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 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 tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Tips
- For an extra touch of lavender, you can sprinkle a few additional lavender buds on top of each muffin before baking. You can also use a lavender-infused sugar for an even deeper lavender flavor.
