Blueberry Lavender Mini Muffins Recipe

We made these Blueberry Lavender Mini Muffins with swimsuit season in mind. Because the mini-ness reminds you of that glorious ritual that everyone low-key guilts each other into. But you won’t catch us acting like it’s normal to spend 6 months of our lives worrying about how good we’ll look sitting out in cloth scraps waiting for the sun to kill us. These Mini Muffins are meant to be devoured. Or rationed. Or handed out to other humans gathered around the same pool or staring out into the same sea. Anybody that cares that much about what you look like in a swimsuit has never eaten a Blueberry Lavender Mini Muffin and truly tasted it. And for that, you must pelt them repeatedly with Mini Muffins until they catch one in their mouth and are freed from their curse.
