LAVENDER BUTTER:
- Combine the butter, dried lavender and honey in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 seconds. Reserve 1/3 cup; wrap the remaining butter in plastic wrap. (Or if you're making the butter in advance, transfer the whole amount to a piece of plastic wrap. Fold enough wrap over the butter so that you can use it to help mold the butter into a log; roll and twist the wrap on the ends to seal. Refrigerate or freeze.).

MUFFINS:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Lightly grease and flour 10 wells of a standard-size muffin pan, or line them with paper baking cups.
- Combine the agave nectar, soy milk, 1/3 cup of lavender butter, eggs and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held mixer; beat on low speed to incorporate.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. With the motor running, add the flour mixture to the bowl in two additions, beating (on low speed) until well incorporated.
- The batter will be quite dense.
- Divide it among the prepared muffin wells, filling them two-thirds full.
- Bake for 17 minutes, or until the muffins are light golden in color.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
