Cannabis Chocolate Muffins

Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases or grease thoroughly with regular butter.

Combine all dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a large mixing bowl and whisk together until evenly distributed.

Pro tip: Sift the cocoa powder if it’s lumpy to avoid chocolate clumps in your finished muffins.

Whisk the egg in a separate bowl, then add milk, melted cannabutter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon, mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix — a few lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Pro tip: Overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense muffins. Stop as soon as you can’t see dry flour.

Divide the batter evenly between muffin cups using an ice cream scoop or large spoon. Fill each cup about 2/3 full for perfectly domed muffins.

Bake for 20-22 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Use your Amber Glass Dropper Bottles 30ml (10-pack) to ensure accurate temperature.

Pro tip: Don’t overbake — cannabis edibles continue cooking slightly from residual heat, and dry muffins are nobody’s friend.

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They’re delicious warm but easier to dose accurately once completely cooled.

Perfect Texture

Don’t overmix the batter — fold wet into dry ingredients just until combined for light, fluffy muffins.

Even Distribution

Melt cannabutter gently and let it cool slightly before adding to prevent curdling the other wet ingredients.

Half-Strength Option

Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter for 11.5mg muffins — perfect for beginners or daytime dosing.

Chocolate Boost

Use Dutch-process cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavour that masks any cannabis taste beautifully.

Storage Success

Store in airtight containers and label clearly with contents, date made, and dosage per muffin.

Portion Control

Use an ice cream scoop to ensure even batter distribution and consistent dosing across all muffins.

Method Duration Notes
Room temperature 3 days Airtight container, cool dry place
Refrigerated 7 days Best for freshness, bring to room temp before eating
Frozen 3 months Wrap individually, thaw overnight

  • Duration: Effects can last 4-8 hours.
  • Do not drive or operate machinery after consuming cannabis edibles.
  • Store securely — label all containers with contents, date, and dosage. Keep away from children, pets, and unsuspecting housemates.
  • Legal context: Cannabis remains illegal for recreational use in most Australian states. Medicinal cannabis is available through TGA-approved prescriptions. Know your state’s laws.

Can I use half cannabutter and half regular butter?

Absolutely! Replace 25g of cannabutter with 25g regular butter to make 11.5mg muffins instead of 23mg. This is perfect for beginners or when you want a milder dose that’s suitable for daytime use.

How long do these chocolate muffins take to kick in?

Cannabis muffins typically take 30-120 minutes to take effect, with peak effects around 2-4 hours after consumption. The chocolate and fat content can slow absorption, so be patient and don’t eat more thinking they’re not working.

Do I need to decarboxylate my cannabis first?

Yes, if you’re making your own cannabutter. Raw cannabis needs to be decarboxylated (heated to 115°C for 40 minutes) to activate the THC before infusing into butter. Store-bought cannabutter should already be decarboxylated.

How should I store these cannabis muffins?

Store in airtight containers at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated for a week, or frozen for up to 3 months. Always label containers with contents, date made, and dosage per muffin for safety.

What if I accidentally eat too much?

Stay calm, drink water, and find a comfortable place to rest. The effects will pass within 8 hours maximum. Contact the Australian Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 if you’re genuinely concerned about your wellbeing.

Can I substitute cannabis coconut oil for cannabutter?

Yes, you can replace the 50g cannabutter with 45ml cannabis coconut oil (coconut oil is more concentrated). The muffins will have a subtle coconut flavour and slightly different texture but similar potency.
