Cannabis Chocolate Chip Muffins
Fluffy cannabis-infused chocolate chip muffins with a tender crumb and pockets of melted chocolate — a perfectly portioned THC breakfast or snack treat.
This easy cannabis cannabis chocolate chip muffins recipe uses cannabutter for a consistent, potent infusion that bakes beautifully at 375°F / 190°C. Baked goods are one of the most popular ways to enjoy edibles because the fat binds perfectly with THC. Follow our step-by-step guide to get reliable dosing every time. These cannabis chocolate chip muffins are fluffy, golden, and loaded with melted chocolate pockets — a perfectly portioned way to enjoy a medicated baked treat.
- 3.5 grams of cannabutter
- 1/4 cup regular butter, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Melt the cannabutter and regular butter together over low heat. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted cannabis-infused butter mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Start with 5-10 mg of THC per serving when baking for the first time, and wait at least 90 minutes before consuming more.
- Mix your cannabutter thoroughly into the batter to ensure even distribution of THC across every piece.
- Use our calculator to determine the total milligrams in your cannabutter, then divide by the number of portions you plan to cut.
- Remember that baked goods can take 45-90 minutes to take effect because they must be digested first.
- The cannabutter is distributed evenly through the batter and divided into 12 muffins, making per-muffin dosing simple to calculate.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Baking at temperatures above 350 F (175 C) for extended periods can degrade THC. Keep your oven at or below 375°F / 190°C and avoid overbaking.
- Skipping decarboxylation before infusing your fat is the most common beginner mistake and will result in weak or inactive edibles.
- Not mixing the cannabutter evenly into the batter leads to hot spots where one piece is extremely potent and another has almost nothing.
- Opening the oven door frequently causes temperature fluctuations that can affect both the bake and cannabinoid preservation.
How to Store Cannabis Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Store your Cannabis Chocolate Chip Muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
- For longer storage, wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months without significant potency loss.
- Always label your edibles clearly with the date, strain used, and approximate mg per serving to avoid accidental overconsumption.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 2 months.
Variations & Ideas
- Swap cannabutter for cannabis-infused coconut oil for a dairy-free version that still binds THC effectively.
- Add a teaspoon of sunflower lecithin to your batter to improve THC absorption and create a more even distribution.
- Try using a mix of CBD and THC-infused fat for a more balanced, less intoxicating effect that is great for daytime use.
- Add a streusel crumb topping for extra texture, or swap chocolate chips for blueberries and lemon zest for a fresh summer muffin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Raw flower must be decarboxylated first, and even then it creates a gritty texture and uneven dosing. Infusing your cannabutter first gives a much smoother result and more reliable potency.
Oven thermostats can be off by 25 degrees or more. Use an oven thermometer to verify the actual temperature matches 375°F / 190°C. This matters because excessive heat degrades THC while too-low temperatures may underbake your goods.
Yes, there will be a noticeable cannabis aroma while baking, especially in the first 15-20 minutes. Using properly infused and strained cannabutter reduces the smell compared to adding flower directly. Good ventilation helps.
When stored properly in an airtight container, cannabis baked goods retain their full potency for about two weeks at room temperature. Frozen edibles can stay potent for three months or longer. Heat and light are the main enemies of THC stability.
You cannot reduce the dosage once baked, but you can cut smaller pieces. This is why accurate calculation before baking is essential. Use our dosage calculator to plan your total THC content and number of servings before you start.
