A couple of notes on a few of the foremost participant components.

- Yogurt: I take advantage of no matter full fats yogurt I’ve available for these as a result of it’s usually what I maintain round. You probably have buttermilk as a substitute, that’s an inexpensive swap.
- Oats: Use normal oats right here, skip the moment oats.
- Lavender Sugar: You’ll make a fast model by pulsing a little bit of dried lavender with brown sugar in a meals processor or high-speed blender.

You get good berry distribution, groovy streaks, with out staining all of the batter.
