Lavender Coconut Cupcakes (vegan)

Floral scents, floral prints, floral flavors, floral flowers!....

I looove anything floral and hope you do too so that you'll love these cupcakes!

These cupcakes have lovely taste of lavender paired with the yummy texture of coconut to make for an interesting and tasty cupcake.

These cupcakes are wonderful without any toppings but I think they taste divine with a little bit of whipped cream (coconut whipped cream if you're vegan!). I've also included a simple frosting recipe that pairs perfectly with them!
