Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dried lavender. Whisk until well-blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then mix in melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Fill muffin cups about two-thirds full with the batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the cakes bake, warm honey in a small saucepan until runny, stirring occasionally.
  8. Allow cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle warm honey over each cake before serving.
