These muffins are so easy to put together. The lavender flavor really works well with lemon. If you've never baked with lavender, start with just 1 or 2 teaspoons for a more subtle flavor. —Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers

  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk first 7 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk milk, melted butter and egg until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened.
