Dairy-free Blueberry Lavender Muffins

I am pretty sure that everyone has their favourite flavour combination when it comes to muffins. Mine has always been blueberry and lemon. Well, at least up until very recently, when I remembered that blueberries are fantastic when paired with lavender. Do you remember my Blueberry Lavender Syrup, Blueberry Lavender Mojito, and Blueberry Lavender Swirl Yogurt Popsicles? It is such a winning combo! I made these Dairy-free Blueberry Lavender Muffins using coconut oil and almond milk, but if you don’t care for them being dairy-free you can substitute them with vegetable oil and regular milk respectively. Whatever you do, they are amazing: moist, fluffy and packed with flavour. They are full of blueberries inside and have a delicious lavender sugar crust on the top that I made using my lavender sugar! So… what’s your favourite type of muffin?
