Why These 5?
These recipes were chosen because they require minimal equipment, use basic techniques, and are very hard to mess up. Each one uses pre-made infused butter or oil — make the infusion first, then these recipes take 10-30 minutes each.
#1: Cannabutter Toast
The simplest edible possible. Toast bread, spread a measured amount of infused butter. Done. Perfect for testing your butter's potency before committing to a full recipe.
- Difficulty: Effortless
- Equipment: Toaster
- Time: 3 minutes
- Best for: Testing potency, quick single serving
#2: Infused Hot Chocolate
Heat milk, add cocoa powder and sugar, stir in a measured amount of infused coconut oil or butter. The chocolate flavor masks any herbal taste. Rich, comforting, and easy to dose precisely.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Equipment: Saucepan
- Time: 10 minutes
- Best for: Cold evenings, excellent flavor masking
#3: Simple Brownies
Use any boxed brownie mix. Replace the oil or butter in the recipe with your infused version. That's it. Brownies are the most forgiving baked good — they're supposed to be dense and fudgy, so it's hard to over-bake them.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Equipment: Bowl, baking pan, oven
- Time: 30-40 minutes (including baking)
- Best for: Sharing, batch preparation, classic flavor
Cut brownies into equal pieces using a ruler for consistent dosing. An 8x8 pan cut into 16 pieces gives you 16 uniform servings. Use the Calculator to plan the total potency for the pan.
#4: Coconut Oil Capsules
Fill empty gelatin capsules with infused coconut oil using a small syringe or dropper. No taste, precise dosing, portable. Each "00" capsule holds about 0.9ml of oil.
- Difficulty: Easy (just fiddly)
- Equipment: Empty capsules (buy online), small syringe or dropper
- Time: 15 minutes for 30 capsules
- Best for: Precise dosing, no taste, discreet
#5: Infused Honey
Warm honey to 50°C (120°F), stir in decarbed material or infused coconut oil, then strain. The result is a sweet, versatile ingredient — add to tea, drizzle on toast, or eat by the spoonful.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Equipment: Saucepan, strainer
- Time: 20 minutes
- Best for: Tea, toast, versatile use
