Lavender Honey Cupcakes

Last summer I was introduced to a life-changing flavor combo; lavender-honey. I fell in LOVE. I honestly didn't think I was going to like it at first but was pleasantly surprised with how refreshing it was. I first had this flavor as ice cream, which was unreal. After the ice cream, I started looking for this flavor everywhere, and I found it again on Cape Cod. This time I had a lavender honey donut and a lavender honey oat bowl. Both of these just made me fall in love with the flavor even more.

As we are approaching this summer, I wanted to try and make my own lavender honey creation. Below are my lavender honey cupcakes. I know the flavor combination is different, but if you like lemon poppy seed, I think you will like these. The best part about this recipe is that I added collagen peptides for some added benefits, and you can't even taste it. If you're interested in the benefits of collagen that I've experienced, check out my post called "My Experience with Collagen".
