Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and large egg until fully combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in the dried culinary lavender and fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking the berries.
  6. Fill each muffin compartment about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
