What is Cannabutter?
Cannabutter is simply butter infused with cannabis cannabinoids. It’s exactly what it sounds like. You can transform THC, CBD, or a mix of cannabinoids into a buttery format using a slow, low-heat extraction process.
You decarboxylate (translation: heat) ground flower so it’s fully psychoactive as soon as you swallow that first bite of whatever you cook up. Then you’ll simmer it with butter and water to bind cannabinoids to the butterfat. At this point you’ll have to strain out plant material.
You’re left with a spreadable fat that carries your chosen dose. Use it anywhere you’d use regular butter - baking, sautéing, or even spreading on toast -for consistent, controlled effects.
But maybe you’re looking for a bit of inspiration on what to make with cannabutter. Your search ends here at MUNCHIES! We’ll share our personal favorite recipes with you below.
What Can I Make With Cannabutter?
So what can I make with cannabutter? As we said earlier, the possibilities are endless. Quite literally anything you make with normal butter (or any other fat source for cooking) can be made with cannabutter. We won’t overwhelm you with a long list of recipes, just a few classics:
Classic Cannabis Brownies
Kick things off with the timeless cannabis brownie.
Melt ½ cup of cannabutter with dark chocolate over a double boiler until glossy. Whisk in sugar, two beaten eggs, and a splash of vanilla. Fold in ⅔ cup of flour and a pinch of sea salt. Then, you’ll pour all this into a greased 8x8 pan and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
We know it’s tempting to dive right in, but let the brownies cool fully before cutting into 12 even squares. Each delivers a reliable dose and that rich, fudgy texture everyone loves.
Savory Garlic Herb Mash
Cannabutter doesn’t have to be sweet. Steam two pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes until tender for a savory side. Mash with ¼ cup cannabutter, three crushed garlic cloves, and a handful of snipped fresh chives. Season with salt and pepper, and voila!
The fat-soluble THC blends seamlessly into the butter, so every creamy spoonful delivers a gentle edible experience. Pair this mash with grilled chicken or roast veggies for a comforting meal that doubles as dinner and unwinding therapy!
Chewy Cannabis Granola Bars
Swap your usual snack for a homemade treat, perfect for on-the-go! Melt ⅓ cup cannabutter and ½ cup honey in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in 3 cups old-fashioned oats, 1 cup chopped nuts, and ½ cup dried fruit. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 9×9 pan.
Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes, let cool completely, then cut into 12 bars. These granola bars store well in an airtight container. You’ll have grab-and-go potency for hiking, study sessions, or mid-afternoon pick-me-ups.
Fluffy Cannabis Pancakes
Breakfast just got elevated. Whisk 1½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Beat one egg with 1¼ cups milk and 3 tablespoons melted cannabutter in another bowl. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined - small lumps are okay.
Then, heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat, brush with extra cannabutter, and pour ¼-cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and brown the other side. Bon appetite!
Stack with maple syrup and fresh berries for a lazy Sunday wake and bake - or, those late nights where you’re feeling breakfast for dinner!
Cannabis-Infused Brown Butter Pasta
Last but certainly not least, you can try brown butter pasta for a more sophisticated culinary experience.
Melt 4 tablespoons cannabutter in a skillet over medium heat. Swirl until it foams and turns nutty brown, about 4 minutes. Toss cooked fettuccine in the brown butter along with grated Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.
The toasty butter aroma elevates the pasta, while the infused cannabinoids deliver a mellow, lingering high for date nights or winding down after a long day.
