Lavender and lemon are complementary flavors. Meaning that any time you see these two together in a recipe, you are guaranteed to delight your senses. For breakfast you might create muffins, pancakes, doughnuts, or waffles with this combination. Here are a few ideas.
Muffins

Pancakes and Waffles

Here are a couple of showstoppers when you have the time and want to make a good impression. Dutch baby pancakes can be made in a large skillet or divided into mini skillets like Most Lovely Things have displayed here, and the filled waffles are sure to leave no leftovers.

Lavender Lemon Dutch Baby Pancake
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon culinary lavender, crushed
1 Tablespoon lavender sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon sugar
1 large egg 1/4 cup whole milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 tablespoon butter
Using an 8″ cast iron skillet, place it in a 425 degree oven to warm as you mix the ingredients.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Add milk and vanilla and whisk to smooth. Add both sugars and flour while continuing to whisk for a smooth batter. Allow batter to sit to set up for about 10 minutes.
Add butter to the warmed cast iron skillet until melted. Swirl to coat the sides and pour the batter in. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Remove pan from oven. The center will fall. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of additional lavender sugar or warm maple syrup.
