- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest and juice of one orange (set aside juice for glaze)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 apples, grated
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
- Lavender Honey Glaze:
- 1/3 cup pure honey (maple syrup for vegan)
- Juice of the orange set aside
- 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Set aside a greased (or non-stick) 10-12 count muffin tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil and sugar until well combined. Whisk the vanilla extract, zest, and milk until well combined. Whisk in the eggs also until thoroughly combined.
- Add in the flour, flaxseed meal, and baking soda and stir to combine. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the apples and walnuts.
- Pour the muffin batter into the muffin tins and fill to the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Test the center with a clean knife. Once done, turn off the oven and let the muffins cool on the counter.
- While the muffins are baking, in a small pot, combine the honey, lavender, and orange juice. Heat the glaze mixture on medium heat and turn down the heat to low once simmering. Continue for 5 minutes then turn off the heat and let cool for 15 minutes to let the lavender steep.
- Pour the glaze mixture into a sieve atop a small container to strain the lavender buds. Once the muffins are ready, gently drizzle with the lavender honey glaze.
