RECIPE: Cannabis Infused Muffins

Remember to take it slow. Edibles don’t hit you right away, and you don’t want to eat more than your limit and 20 minutes later ending up hiding in the closet (though this recipe is super low dose to keep things from getting too crazy).

Until you learn what works for you take bites and space them out, and you’ll have a barely perceptible high. And if anyone does get suspicious, just tell them you’re on meds. That is completely socially acceptable.

Who’s going to judge a sweet little zucchini muffin, sitting there on your desk seemingly minding its own business? Nobody. Now you can make it through the day without chronic pain, worrying about a migraine, or developing glaucoma.

For the recipes we’re about to share, you should have a batch of cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil already made and ready to go.

But if you do not have the cannaoil or cannabutter then this is how you can make this at home yourself.

Cannaoil & Cannabutter Recipe

Fortunately, it is fairly easy to make both of these cannabis-infused bases. The process involves using heat to decarboxylate— or activate — the THC.

From there, it is all about simmering the cannabis with your butter or oil at a low temperature until all the cannabinoids have been pulled out of the herb and absorbed into the butter or oil.

Once you have a batch of cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil, you are ready to make cannabis muffins. We’ll give you two recipes. One includes cannabutter, the other cannabis coconut oil. Make them both and see which one you like better.

The key to baking edibles is to start out with a good cannabis-infused base. Since THC binds to fat, this base is going to be butter or some sort of oil.

Cannabutter Zucchini Muffins

Yields: 12 muffins

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a bowl, mix together zucchini, melted cannabutter, olive oil, and both sugars. Once combined, mix in eggs one at a time. Sift together all dry ingredients and mix into zucchini in one addition. Fold in nuts, if desired.
Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake wrappers, and divide batter equally between them. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Each muffin will have approximately 5-10 mg of THC, which is at or below the recommended beginner’s dosage.

Apple Cinnamon Muffins With Cannabutter

Ingredients

– 1 1/2 cups flour
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Pinch of ground cloves
– 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
– One egg, beaten
– 1/2 cup milk
– One Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced
– Between 1/3 and 3/4 cup cannabutter, melted

Note: The amount of cannabutter you use depends on how potent you want your muffins.

Make Your Muffins

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then start by mixing your dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices). In a separate bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, and cannabutter.

Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. After that, carefully fold in your chunks of apple. Do not overmix the batter. Stir it all together until just moist, and the apples have been evenly incorporated.

Spoon the batter into paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, make your topping.

To make the topping, combine three tablespoons of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. When the muffins have finished baking, brush the tops with a little bit of melted cannabutter.

Turn the muffins upside down and dip them into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Let cool and enjoy.

Banana Muffins With Cannabis Coconut Oil

Ingredients

– Between 1/4 and 1/2 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil, melted

Note: The amount of cannabis coconut oil you use depends on how potent you want your final product.

– 1/2 cup honey
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup smashed bananas
– 1/4 cup almond milk
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 1/2 cup oats
– Optional: A dash of coarse sugar for sprinkling on top of muffins

Make Your Muffins

Get your oven preheated to 325 degrees. Then start by mixing together the cannabis coconut oil and honey. Next, add the eggs and beat the entire mixture well.

From there, put the smashed bananas and milk into the mix. Give it a stir and add the baking soda, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

At this point, you should have a loose, wet mixture. Now it is time to add the flour and oats. Mix all the ingredients until everything is moist and fully incorporated. Be careful that you do not overmix it.

Spoon the batter into paper-lined muffin tins. From here you can either pop them straight into the oven, or you can sprinkle some additional oats and a dash of coarse sugar over the tops of the muffins.

Bake them for 25 minutes. Let them cool enough that you can cleanly remove them from the muffin papers. Enjoy.
