BANANA BLUEBERRY MUFFINS WITH LAVENDER

Banana Blueberry Muffins with Lavender image

These muffins are some of the best I've ever tasted. The lavender gives the flavor a slightly fresher taste, bringing out the vibrancy of the blueberries. You've got to try it! Serve warm with soft butter, if desired.
