This is my first time using lavender in baking. I love the taste of the lavender in this muffin, I think they would go well with a cup of herb tea. They are so easy to make. I should have used my smaller muffin tin as there was only enough batter for eleven. I wish I had fresh lavender outside to use in my photo. Made during * Zaar World Tour 5* 2009 game for team *Genies of Gourmet*

You've done it again CJ! This was the first time I planned on serving Picky BF lavender so I went with 2 tsp. instead of 3. It was just enough to get the flavor without overwhelming. The apples complimented it nicely and the texture was lovely. These are best served the day they are made, but a quick zap in the micro worked well too! Merci! from a fellow epicurean queen!
