Lavender Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

Preparation Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Muffin Batter In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried lavender buds, and poppyseeds.

Muffin Batter In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.

Muffin Batter Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Muffin Batter Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Baking Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Lemon Glaze While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Cooling 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.

Garnish Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins and garnish with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon zest.
