How Do I Bake With Weed?

There are a few things to remember when you start baking with weed. Even if you’re a seasoned Canna-Chef, you still need a little prep to make cupcake life easier for you.

Tip #1 – Preparation Is Key!

You’ll need a few things prepped in advance so that you can bake your heart out with weed any time you want!

Make sure you have all proper cooking utensils like:

What Else Do I Need to Cook or Bake With Weed?

Depending on the recipe, you’re going to want to have oils, milk and butter on hand and in the fridge most of the time!

  • Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
  • Milk ( any kind you like)
  • Butter

Let’s Decarb Cannabis

First, you need to decarb your Cannabis. This is a step you absolutely can not leave out. It takes a little adjusting to you if you’re a beginner, but once you’ve got it licked, you’ll be a pro.

In its raw state, cannabis won’t provide the psychoactive effects we’re after.

However, once you decarb weed, you ensure that the all-important cannabinoids like THC and CBD become activated and available.

When done correctly, the result is more potent edibles and a better bang for your buck with little waste.

Proper Dosing For Edibles

When it comes to dosing, always use the mantra: ‘low and slow’.

You want to adjust accordingly as you continue to bake with weed and make sure you remember that edibles sometimes take a few hours to kick in.

If you don’t feel anything at first, hold up! Wait a minute! Over-dosing will result in a bad experience. This part of the process requires a little patience on your part.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Spatula
  • Muffin Pans x 2
  • Muffin Cups
  • Whisk
  • Cooling rack
  • Oven
  • Electric Hand Mixer OR electric mixer

Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Himalayan Salt
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Cannabis Coconut Oil
  • 10 tbsp Coconut Oil melted
  • 1 cup Milk or milk alternative
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Rainbow sprinkles

FROSTING

  • 1 cup Butter unsalted
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 1 pinch Himalayan Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 standard muffin pans with muffin cup papers.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients together: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until there are no more lumps and set aside.
  • Time for the wet ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl: mix eggs, both coconut oils, milk, and vanilla extract and mix with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the sprinkles by hand being sure not to overmix because the sprinkles will bleed into the batter and you want to see them!
  • Fill each muffin cup paper about 2/3 full and bake 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting. If you start frosting while the cupcakes are still warm, it will be a disaster.

FROSTING

  • Beat the butter using a hand mixer or an electric mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy and smooth.
  • Gradually add in the sugar and mix until combined.
  • Add the vanilla and salt and whip your frosting until it's creamy.
    If the frosting is too stiff, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency!
