Cannabis French Toast
Thick-cut cannabis-infused French toast soaked in a rich custard and pan-fried in cannabutter until golden, topped with maple syrup and fresh berries.
This easy cannabis cannabis french toast recipe uses cannabutter for a consistent, potent infusion that bakes beautifully at Medium-low heat. 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. Cannabis French toast transforms a lazy weekend breakfast into a medicated indulgence, with each slice pan-fried in cannabutter for golden, aromatic perfection.
- 3.5 grams of cannabutter
- 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons regular butter
- Maple syrup and fresh berries for serving
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a shallow dish until well combined.
- Melt the cannabutter and regular butter together in a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Keep the heat gentle to preserve the cannabutter's potency.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 seconds per side.
- Cook the soaked bread in the cannabis-infused butter for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis French Toast
- 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 melted in the skillet and absorbed by the bread as it cooks, distributing the dose evenly across all six slices.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Baking at temperatures above 350 F (175 C) for extended periods can degrade THC. Keep your oven at or below Medium-low heat 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 French Toast
- Store your Cannabis French Toast 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.
- Best served immediately; if needed, keep warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack while cooking remaining slices.
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.
- Use cinnamon raisin bread or banana bread for extra flavor, or make stuffed French toast by spreading cream cheese and jam between two slices before dipping.
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 Medium-low heat. 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.
