Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh lavender flowers. If you don't have access to fresh lavender, you can use dried lavender buds, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Be sure to chill the bars for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help them set properly.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 8x8 inch pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
