Lavender Infused Dark Chocolate Rye Muffins

Lavender Infused Dark Chocolate Rye Muffins are super moist with hint of lavender and made healthy with rye and almond flour.

And way to delicious!!

It’s finally Spring and I couldn’t be more excited. Finally days are getting long, there are flowers blooming, chirping of birds, beautiful weather and warmer temperatures which I’m definitely looking forward to.

Few days back I got this batch of rye flour to try out and since then cannot stop playing with recipes. Rye flour is known to be high on fibre, low on GI index and has loads of other health benefits. So recently I’ve been baking a lot with rye flour and especially the bread which you know by now is my latest passion. Home baked bread anyday is more satisfying and you use the best quality ingredients and way more hygienic.  The rye bread is so full of flavors, hearty and wholesome.

And now I wanted to use rye flour in my pastry and what better than pairing rye with dark chocolate, the combination works just perfect. The muffins that are so beautifully risen, rich yet light and way so moist, we are totally in love with these gorgeous little treats. Loved the way how the sourness of rye pairs so beautifully with dark chocolate and the infusion of lavender take it to a totally different level.

 

These are a great addition to your dessert table as well.

The muffins here are not only delicious but healthy too. They are made with rye flour which is high on fibre, almond flour, uilmaple syrup for the sweetness and dark chocolate an antioxidant which is any day good when consumed in moderation. Almond milk here make the muffins dairy free.

These muffins are super moist, deep, dark, rich and perfect guilt free treat. Just perfect for those intense chocolate cravings, and the best part they come together quickly.

Who would not want to enjoy those chocolate treats when they are made healthy.

Yes, I’m definitely making them again soon.

These Lavender Infused Dark Chocolate Rye Muffins are all you need in life!!

Until next time.

Love,
