There’s the great news. This (And only this!) summer I will be sharing a lot of delicious lavender ideas such as this luscious Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Oatmeal.
This recipe was originally posted in June 2016. I have taken and uploaded new photos while the recipe and blogpost remain the same.
Wait. If you have reading this blog for a while, you might have noticed I share lavender recipes all year round. Summer does not mean the only one time I use lavender. I know, guilty.
On the other hand, I am quite right. Summer is such a great season when you can use lavender in so many good ways.
First of all, lavender is a great summer herb on its own so you can make, let’s say, refreshing Lavender Lemonade.
Besides, lavender is beautifully paired with different fruit and berries such as apricots, strawberries, and blueberries. Need examples? There we go. I am a generous guy today.

Let me recommend making this delicious and delicate Lavender Apricot Mascarpone Lavender Cake.
Don’t want to stand near the stove? I understand you. So, you might be interested in this Blueberry Lavender Coconut Ice Cream.
Need to cool down? Make this Strawberry Lavender Lemonade.
Something fabulous and unusual? What about this Blackberry Lavender Pasta?
As you see, there are plenty good ways to jazz up you food by adding lavender. And trust me, this summer I am not going to stop. It’s going to be lavendlous!
To start with, I’ve got this Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Oatmeal. I have already made oatmeal with lavender and white chocolate, and this time I decided to add a little of summer in this bowl! Juicy, creamy (White chocolate introduces a fantastic velvety consistency!), dreamy, and very delicious.
Yup, this Blackberry Lavender White Chocolate Oatmeal is kind of a must to try6 this summer. Well, if you don’t like lavender, just don’t include it. That would be another story, though.

What a fantabulously genius idea to combine lavender and white chocolate Ben! This I could eat for breakfast, lunch AND dinner – ooh and I cannot forget dessert! I think dessert would have to be this AND your Mascarpone Apricot Lavender Crepe Cake – what do you say?!

You had me at blackberries on this one, Ben! I seriously love blackberries. You bring the lavender flare, I’ll bring the blackberries, and we’ll meet in the middle? Say the Canadian border or somewhere in the Adirondacks? :-)

Yes,I knew that David – that’s the only one way to involve you in using lavender. I think you inspired me to try the combo of blackberries and lavender when you posted the recipe for blackberry cake last summer.
