Recipes

Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

Brown sugar shortbread

The classic one-two-three ratio: one part sugar, two parts butter, three parts flour. Almost half of it is butter, which makes it one of the most efficient carriers on the site.

Blondies

Brown sugar and vanilla carry the whole bar, with no cocoa to hide behind. That means the butter you use should be butter you would happily eat on toast, because the flavor is right out in the open.

Apple crisp

Oat streusel over apples firm enough to hold their shape — Granny Smith or Braeburn, not a soft eating apple that collapses into sauce. Baked in ramekins, which takes the guesswork out of serving it.

Banana nut muffins

Muffin-method batter mixed by hand in one bowl, with bananas dark enough that the skins are mostly black. A high opening oven temperature is what gives the tops their dome.

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies

The standard creamed-butter drop cookie, with the butter browned first. Browning drives off water and deepens the flavor enough to cover any grassiness in the infusion.

Caramel corn

Baked low to set the caramel, then finished with infused butter off the heat. Most versions stir the infusion into boiling caramel and then bake it for 45 minutes, which throws away a good share of what you made.

Carrot cake cupcakes

Cupcakes solve the portioning problem a layer cake creates, and putting the infusion in the cream cheese frosting solves the heat problem — frosting is never cooked, so nothing is lost on the way.

Cinnamon rolls

Soft enriched rolls where the infusion lives in the cinnamon filling instead of the dough. The filling is shielded by the dough around it, and rolling a spiral spreads it across every roll evenly.

Fudgy one-bowl brownies

A high-fat, low-flour brownie that bakes dense rather than cakey. The cocoa does most of the work of hiding the infusion.

Oatmeal raisin cookies

Old-fashioned rolled oats hold their shape and give the cookie its chew; quick oats dissolve into the dough and leave it cakey. Plumping the raisins first stops them pulling moisture out of the crumb.

Olive oil banana bread

An oil-based loaf rather than a creamed-butter one, which makes it forgiving, one-bowl, and easy to slice into even portions.

Peanut butter cookies

Four ingredients plus flour, and the fork marks are structural rather than decorative — the dough barely spreads, so the thickness you press is the thickness you bake. Roasted peanut covers an infusion better than almost anything.

Pecan pie

Corn syrup holds the sugar in solution so the filling sets clear and chewy instead of grainy. Cooling the sugar mixture before the eggs and butter go in is not optional — hot syrup scrambles egg on contact.

Pecan pralines

New Orleans pralines set by beating rather than by chilling. Cook to 236 °F, let the pot fall, then beat until the surface goes dull — early and they never set, late and they seize in the pan.

Pumpkin pie

Custard pie, which means eggs set it and eggs will crack it if it goes past done. Pull it while the middle still wobbles and let carryover finish the job on the counter.

S'mores bars

Graham cookie base, a layer of chocolate, marshmallows browned under the broiler. The broiler is the only real risk in the recipe — marshmallow goes from toasted to black in about fifteen seconds.
