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.

DessertStandard

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.

DessertStandard

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.

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.

MainStandard

Chicken parmesan

A full dinner rather than a dessert. The chicken is fried and baked at temperatures no infusion survives, so the dose rides in the sauce that goes on top.

BreakfastStandard

Chocolate chip muffins

An oil-based muffin, which makes it one-bowl and forgiving. Portioned into a pan with twelve equal wells, which is the easiest even dosing you can get from a baked good.

DessertStandard

Chocolate sheet cake

A thin sheet cake cut into a grid, which makes it the easiest cake to dose accurately. The frosting carries the infusion so none of it goes through the oven.

DessertStandard

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.

SnackLow

Honey glazed spiced nuts

Roasted first, glazed with infused honey after they cool. Infused honey is less efficient than fat, so this leans on the glaze going on cold rather than being baked.

DessertStandard

Lemon bars

Shortbread base carrying the dose, sharp lemon curd on top. The infusion lives in the crust, which bakes gently, rather than in a custard that sets at a higher temperature.

BreakfastLow

Maple pecan granola

A low, slow granola that bakes gently enough not to punish the infusion. Makes a jar that lasts a fortnight and doses itself by the spoon.

BreakfastStandard

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.

Skillet cornbread

Baked in a hot cast-iron pan for a crisp edge. A sturdy, savory way to carry a light dose to a dinner table.

Spinach artichoke dip

A hot, savory dip for a table where nobody wants dessert. The infused oil is folded in before it goes to the oven and the bake is short and gentle.

SideLow

Sweet potato fries

Roasted hot in plain oil, tossed in infused oil after. Roasting temperature is about twice what an infusion tolerates, so the dose goes on at the end.
