This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
Muffins are great for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack, and have a touch of sweetness that is perfect for a healthier dessert option, too! These Strawberry Lavender Muffins are full of sweet ,delicious strawberries and a bit of lavender extract paste to give them a unique and refreshing flavor, that compliments the strawberry flavor so much.
Now, I know some people here lavender and think of the scent that we all know that is often used in cleaning supplies or essential oils, etc., right? Ok, get that out of your head where this recipe is concerned, because I promise you, the flavor is nothing like the scent! In fact, if you tell someone these are plain ol’ strawberry muffins, they will be none the wiser, because the lavender is so subtle and truly goes well with the strawberries. The muffins are moist and light, not dense and dry. And, they get rave reviews from adults and kids, alike!
