Lavender Zucchini Muffins with Lavender Elderflower Frosting “edible flower baking”
Lavender Zucchini Muffins with Lavender Elderflower Frosting. This is only for you !!!! I have to admit – or i already admitted: I love cooking and I think I might be relatively good at it, but I am the worst baker in the world. Last time i baked I had the assistance from my roommate for every little tiny step but I still managed that the cake was completly ruined by me taking it out too early. After the last desaster I swore that I would take a biiiig pause from baking. So this is very special & I was more than surprised when those muffins turned out to be super delicious !
We want to start a new project called: Edible Flowers and wield herbs. Next to the bee project which is in the pipe we are going to focus our research on that & we already have quite some nice ideas 🙂 So we start of right: with the sweet !
I still have an abundance of zucchini from the garden, so the first went straight down into the muffins. Dont be sceptical: If you never had carrots or zucchini in your pastry: It makes it more moist and delicious I promise!
Lavender does not only smell amazing but also tastes super interesting and flowery in pastry.You can add it fresh, let it dry in sugar or on a flower drying utensil.
