If you’ve already made your weed butter, congratulations! That’s a feat in and of itself.

Now you may wonder, what can I make with this cannabutter?

Members of my Well With Cannabis Community always ask me this, so I thought it would be a perfect time to put together a list of all my favorite cannabutter recipes.

This guide includes my favorite cannabutter recipes and tips and tricks for working with and keeping cannabutter safe.

How to Use Cannabutter in Recipes

Yay, you’ve done it!

You’ve successfully decarbed and followed a cannabutter recipe and are now left with an amazing final product.

Now, it’s time to put it to good use in your favorite recipes.

The first thing to know is that you can use your cannabis butter instead of regular butter in any recipe you choose.

It is up to you whether you want to use the full amount called for, or use part cannabutter, part regular butter.

For example, if a recipe calls for a cup of butter, you can use a half cup of regular butter and a half cup of cannabutter, if desired.

If you are looking for vegan butter for your homemade edibles, I recommend swapping coconut oil.

You can also rest easy knowing that it is OK to bake any recipe that calls for high temperatures, such as 350°F and up.

This is because the food never gets that hot, meaning you won’t ruin the THC in your cannabis edibles.

That is unless you introduce too much heat by overcooking.

Of course, it will never hurt to keep low-temperature cooking options available, too.

I have a whole list of no-bake cannabutter recipes here.

How to Make Cannabutter

There are so many different ways to make a cannabis infusion at home, but here is a simple explanation of the steps needed to make your own cannabis-infused food.

The first step is to go through the decarbing process.

You can do this in an oven or Instant pot. Place the cannabis buds in a mason jar and get baking.

The next step is to decide how much cannabis and how much butter you want to combine.

You can use this flower-to-oil ratio guide to help.

Many different parts of the cannabis plant can be used to make weed edibles like butter.

You can use traditional cannabis flowers, sugar leaves or trim, or fan leaves to make butter.

You can also make kief butter or CBD butter with decarbed CBD flowers.

Remember that the type of cannabis you use will ultimately dictate the final taste and color of your cannabutter.

For best results, be sure to avoid grinding your cannabis first.

Ground cannabis releases more chlorophyll into the butter, making it taste green.

Then you need to decide how to infuse. You can use a slow cooker, Instant pot, stovetop, or other infusion machines.

Then choose the type of butter you want to use.

Unsalted butter is preferred over salted butter, but clarified butter or ghee is the best to prevent separation.

Finally, I create this essential ingredient in the kitchen with my simple recipe.

And remember, the best way to make cannabutter is to find the best option for you and your needs.
