5 Easy Bake Edible Recipes You Should Try at Home

Marijuana edibles give you one of the most sensational highs you can experience, and all you have to do is eat some tasty snacks infused with weed. The effects of edibles can take a while to kick in, but when they do, you can expect to be seriously high for at least 4 to 8 hours and sometimes even more. Plus, there are many easy bake edible recipes to try at home.

You can find edibles in all kinds of delicious forms. Whether you prefer brownies, cakes, cookies or even gummies, you can try them with the added effects of THC. However, while buying edibles makes things more convenient, making them at home can be a lot more fun. You can infuse all kinds of baked recipes with marijuana butter for delicious and sensational results.

There are a few steps you’ll need to take before you start baking with weed. For a start, you’ll need to decarboxylate some of your favorite buds to activate the THC inside. You’ll also need to infuse your decarbed weed into a fat-based ingredient. Cannabis butter is usually the best bet, especially as you can use it in so many recipes.

Here’s a guide on how to cook with marijuana along with some of the best easy bake edible recipes you should try at home.

How To Decarboxylate Your Weed

When you make any kind of marijuana edibles, you’ll need to decarboxylate your weed first. Decarboxylation involves subjecting weed to heat to activate THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana. When you smoke weed, THC is activated via burning. However, decarboxylating cannabis for use in cooking involves heating it without burning it.

With some marijuana edible recipes, your weed will be automatically decarboxylated. For instance, you can make Weed Tea with marijuana and the THC will be activated by the boiling water. However, in most cases, you’ll need to decarboxylate your weed in the oven before cooking it into a fat-based ingredient such as butter. THC binds to fats to make your butter psychoactive.

Fortunately, decarboxylation is straightforward. Start by preheating your oven to 245°F- this heat will activate the THC in your cannabis without burning it. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper and spread out buds of your chosen strain of marijuana (around 7-14 grams) before placing it in the oven.

Allow the buds to heat for around 30-40 minutes. You might want to shake the tray every 10 minutes or so to ensure they’re evenly heated. After this time, take the tray out of the oven and allow time to cool. You can now grind your buds before infusing them into cannabis butter or other cannabis condiment recipes.

1. Recipe For Cannabis Butter

The best way to make baked edible recipes is with cannabis butter. Making cannabis butter simply involves simmering butter and decarboxylated weed together until the THC in your cannabis binds to fats in butter, making for psychoactive cannabis-infused butter. You can then use the butter in all kinds of delicious recipes. Here’s how to make cannabis butter.

Ingredients:

• 7-10 grams of cannabis (decarboxylated and ground)
• 1 cup of butter
• 1 cup of water

Step 1: Make sure you’ve decarboxylated and ground your cannabis before making cannabis butter. Add a cup of butter and a cup of water to a saucepan for every 7-10 grams of cannabis you plan to use and allow it to melt on medium heat.

Step 2: Once your butter melts, reduce the heat (you’ll want it to be around 160-180ºF) and add your ground, decarboxylated cannabis. Stir the cannabis and butter together and allow the mixture to simmer for around 2-3 hours. You want the butter to simmer without boiling.

Step 3: After simmering for 2-3 hours, your cannabis butter will be ready. Take a clean, glass jar and cover it using a cheesecloth before straining your cannabis butter through. Allow all of the butter to strain through, leaving the leftover cannabis behind.

Step 4: Seal your jar of cannabis butter and place it in the fridge to harden. Once it hardens, separate it using a knife and pour out any excess water. Your cannabis butter is now ready to use in all kinds of delicious baked marijuana edible recipes.

2. Recipe For Marijuana Brownies

One of the best easy bake edible recipes you can make is marijuana brownies. These tasty treats will give you a delicious, chocolatey flavor along with the intense effects of marijuana. Plus, it’ll only take a small serving to get seriously high. Here’s how to make simple marijuana brownies.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup of marijuana butter
• ⅓ cup of flour
• 1 cup of sugar
• ¾ cup of cocoa powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons of water

Step 1: Before you start making your cannabis brownie mix, preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a brownie tray. You’ll now be prepared to stick your brownie mix straight in the oven once you’re ready.

Step 2: Take a large mixing bowl and combine your sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, salt, water, and cannabis butter. Thoroughly whisk these ingredients together before slowly adding your eggs one at a time while beating them into the mixture.

Step 3: Next, add your flour to the mixture and continue to thoroughly whisk all ingredients. After around 3 minutes of whisking, you should have a smooth, chocolatey brownie mixture that’s ready to bake.

Step 4: Take your brownie tray and slowly pour in your brownie mixture. Place the brownie tray in the oven at 325°F and allow it to take for around 20 minutes.

Step 5: Once the mixture hardens and begins to separate from the edges, your cannabis brownies are ready. If your cannabis brownies aren’t ready, feel free to give them another 5-10 minutes.

Step 6: When your brownies are ready, remove the tray from the oven and place it on the side to cool. Cut the mixture into around 12 even servings- this will prevent you from eating too much at once. Your brownies are now ready to use.
