Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of almond milk with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of matcha powder, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.75 cup of granulated sugar.
  4. Add 0.33 cup of neutral oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the curdled almond milk, mixing gently.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  6. Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full, and bake for 17-22 minutes.
  7. Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. For the glaze, heat 2 tablespoons of almond milk with 1 tablespoon of culinary lavender buds for 4-5 minutes, then strain and whisk in 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar.
  9. Drizzle the lavender glaze over the cooled muffins and allow to set before serving.
