Lavender can be added to alot of basic recipes you already use. This delicious banana bread recipe is a riff on a recipe from “Spike it with Lavender” by Linda Lafferty for The Lavender Association of Western Colorado.
Mix dry ingredients:
3/4 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 T dried lavender buds
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
In another bowl combine:
1 T melted butter
1/2 cup honey (lavender infused honey if you have it)
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup buttermilk
Mix with dry ingredients and gently fold in:
1/2 cup halfed cherries (frozen)
Pour in greased loaf pan. Cook for 30 minutes at 325 F, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy. Do you have a favorite lavender recipe?
