Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1/2 tsp lavender extract
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp lavender extract (for glaze)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
  • 4–5 drops purple food coloring (optional)
  • Dried lavender buds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line your muffin pan with silicone liners or paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, sift together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, lavender extract, and melted coconut oil. Beat until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, beating well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the sifted flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Evenly distribute the muffin batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove them from the liners and fully cool on a wire rack.
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lavender extract, fresh lemon juice, and optional purple food coloring until smooth for the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins or dip the tops. Sprinkle with dried lavender buds before the glaze sets.
  11. Allow the glaze to set completely before storing the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a similar tangy moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Optional dried lavender buds add a beautiful visual and extra floral aroma, but use sparingly.
  • To make muffins vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a non-dairy yogurt.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the brightest lemon flavor.
