Cannabis Infused Muffins with Blueberry, Lavender, and Chocolate Chip
1 lightly greased muffin pan or muffin pan with paper liners
1 ½ sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter (to make canna-butter)
¼ ounce of ground cannabis flower or ½ ounce high-quality cannabis trim
2 cups all-purpose flour (subtract 2 Tbsp if using whole wheat)
½ stick unsalted butter (to help manage flavor), softened
Place the Crock Pot on low heat and add 1 cup of water, 1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter, and ¼ ounce of ground cannabis flower.
Set your Crock Pot to low and let the contents simmer for 8 to 24 hours, stirring every now and then.
Once you've let the mixture simmer for your desired amount of time, pour it into a glass container that can go in the fridge. Use a cheese cloth or fine mesh strainer to get rid of all the plant matter from the butter. Get as much liquid off of the plant product as you can by squeezing or pressing it before throwing out the leftoverplant material.
Store the leftover liquid in your fridge overnight or until the butter becomes solid. You'll be able to see when the separation between water and butter occurs, which means it's now time to take out your canna-butter infused creation from the water to use in recipes! After you remove the canna-butter, get rid of any excess water.
The canna-butter will need to be softened before using it in the blueberry muffin recipe. Let it sit out at room temperature; heating it in a microwave oven is not recommended.
In a medium bowl, add and whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set mixture aside.
In a bowl, cream the softened butter, canna-butter, and sugar with a hand mixer.
Add in eggs, one at a time, until fully combined.
Begin folding in the flour mixture slowly, alternating with milk until they are fully combined.
Gently fold in the frozen blueberries, chocolate chips, and lavender with a spatula or large spoon.
Fill each well of the muffin pan to about 3/4ths full using a cookie or ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture.
To see if your cake is done, stick a toothpick into the center. If there's no batter on the toothpick when you pull it out, the cake is done (this usually takes 20-25 minutes).
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before taking them out. For best results, set wire rack on top of towel so that it doesn't slide around. Once they're cooled completely, you can enjoy!
