Ingredients
3 or 4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup melted budter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup chopped nuts, optional

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix butter and mashed bananas.
Add sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Add baking soda, salt, flour, and mix well.
Line muffin tin with parchment cups, fill about 1/2 way.
Sprinkle chopped nuts on top.
Bake for 25-30 mins.

Store in air tight container, or freeze individually for longer storage.

Ingredients
1/2 cup oats (you *cannot* use quick or instant oats, they will turn to mush, but any other is nice!)
1/2 tbsp. chia seeds
1/2 tbsp. hemp hearts
1/2 tbsp. flax seeds

1/2 cup milk
1/2 tbsp. infused honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions
Mix dry ingredients and put them in your preferred jar. I like to follow this ratio, but make a large batch of dry ingredients all at once. That way I just have to scoop a portion at a time from my canister to jar and set in the fridge overnight as I please.

Mix milk, honey and vanilla in a separate bowl until the honey dissolves completely.

Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients, seal, and place in the fridge overnight.

These are delicious as is, or topped with additional ingredients to make for a tasty treat or a full meal deal.

OneWeek of Oats

If you are looking to make a positive change when it comes to healthy eating habits, overnight oats are a great way to kickstart your day. For the rookie meal plan/prepper they are also a really easy introduction to the lifestyle of meal planning.

I have a couple of steady “go to” flavour combinations that I prefer. This is a really fun breakfast to play around with though. You can almost never go wrong when you’re adding to a hearty oat base!

AppleSpice
1/2 apple, cut into bite sized bits
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cane sugar
Roll apple bits in cinnamon and sugar. Pour on top of prepared oats.
Enjoy.

BananaNut
1/2 banana sliced up
2 tbsp. ground roasted nuts
Pour on top of prepared oats.
Enjoy.

Reesey
2 tbsp. ground peanuts
2 tbsp. chocolate chips
(I also like to add a small spoonful of peanut butter, an extra splash of milk, and chocolate drizzle to make this really rich and extra delish.)
Pour on top of prepared oats.
Enjoy.

BananaSplit
1/2 sliced banana
2 tbsp. crushed walnuts
chopped cherries
whipped cream
chocolate drizzle
(I like to make my kids a WeedFree version of this particular flavour combo … dessert for breakfast can be a really fun way to start the day!)

PumpkinSpice
2 tbsp. roasted pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp. crushed walnuts
2 tbsp. dried cranberries
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cane sugar
Roll your seeds, nuts and berries in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Pour on prepared oats.
Enjoy.

ChocoBerry
1/4 cup sliced strawberries
2 tbsp. chocolate chips
Pour on prepared oats.
Enjoy.

RockyRoad
2 tbsp. chocolate chips
2 tbsp. crushed nuts
small handful of mini marshmallows
chocolate drizzle
Pour on top of prepared oats.
Enjoy.

These are, of course, just ideas. You can play with any flavour combinations you prefer. Maple/walnut. Many berries. Try different combinations of chipits and seeds and nuts to make your own favourites!

Experiment a little bit! Breakfast should be fun!

This is a SpecialStock recipe. It is not for the average stoner. The end product is extremely potent and will, undoubtedly, mess you up! I, myself, only consume the end product in 1/2 teaspoon doses. I have found it impossible to make the end product with a more diluted recipe. That being said, if you first follow the process and then decide to whip in some additional honey you can have a less potent version of the same delicious product.

You will need a glass jar, with a fully sealed lid – not the kind typically used for jams and preserves – and one cup of honey for every 3.5 grams of kief you have. It turns out one measured tablespoon is close to 3.5 grams relatively consistently.

Decarboxylation process:

	Temperature	Time (high THC)	Time (high CBD)
Oven	170 F/75 C	10 minutes	10 – 15 minutes

Watch your kief *very* closely, you do not want to cook off any of that precious, high THC content. Tap it around with a fork if you notice it beginning to clump together. The more fine the crystals stay for this process, the better your final product will be.

When the decarb is finished, drop your kief into the jar and pour your honey over top.

Seal the jar, as tight as humanly possible.

The kief will float to the top of the honey and make a layer on top. This is normal. You will now begin the *long* process of flipping. Every time you notice the layer has formed, flip the jar. Leave it upside down until the layer forms on top of the honey again, and then flip it.

At first, you will find yourself flipping your honey jar multiple times a day. As the kief bonds with the honey molecules, though, the layer will take longer to form. The flipping process generally takes approximately 30 days.

You will know your KiefHoney is ready when it has become sort of creamy in consistency and the colour is even, no longer layering but all one substance.

Ingredients
3/4 cup nut butter (almond/cashew/peanut/sunflower/etc)
1/4 cup infused honey**
1/2 cup honey**
1 1/2 cups roasted raw nuts and/or seeds (almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds – use your favourites in any combination)
1 cup dried fruit (cherries, cranberries, blueberries, apricots, pineapple, raisins, goji berries – again, use your favourites in any combination)
4 cups gluten free rice krispie cereal
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place nuts/roasted seeds and dried fruits in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times, just until the mixture is coarsely ground.
In a large saucepan, melt nut butter with honey over medium-low heat. Stir and watch carefully to prevent scorching. When the mixture is smooth and bubbling, cook for about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add salt and vanilla and stir to combine.
Use a large spatula to stir in nuts, dried fruit, and cereal.
Stir until all ingredients are coated with nut butter mixture.
Scrape mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the spatula to spread the mixture evenly on the pan.
Place a large piece of waxed paper over the mixture and use a rolling pin to smooth the top of the mixture.
Leave covered with wax paper, and refrigerate for about 2 hours before cutting the energy bars into whatever size you prefer.
Wrap bars in waxed paper and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

**if you prefer a stronger dose, you can use up to 3/4 cup infused honey. for the mornings, i keep my doses a little on the light end. i am a mom and a #ProductivePothead. always remember to start out on the LightWeight side because you can work your way up but you can’t come back down

Your oil selection will depend on your personal taste. Almost all vegetable/cooking oils can be infused using this method. They will, also, taste different depending on the oil you choose. The possibilities are endless here; you can use extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, etc.

Dope Dosage (use flower OR shake, not both):

Flower	14 grams
Shake	28 grams
Honey	per 2 1/4 cups

This is my basic recipe, you can dilute it to be a weaker concentration after cooking if you find it too strong. This specific ratio works best to maintain volume after the cook. You can also make a bigger batch of this, but maintain this consistent ratio for the cook process or you will lose oil volume in the cooked marijuana at the end. Recipes on this site will be written considering this dosage.

Remember that decarboxylation process:

	Temperature	Time (high THC)	Time (high CBD)
Oven	275 F/135 C	20 minutes	30 minutes

The Process:
Weigh out your weed and decarb it. Keep the layer less than an inch thick, use multiple baking pans if you are doing a big batch.

As your weed decarbs, prepare a double boiler with your oil in the top and get it warming.

Add the decarbed weed to the oil in the top layer of your double boiler.

Simmer over low heat for four hours.

Strain through a sieve and cheesecloth, using the bottom of a metal bowl to press all liquid out of cooked marijuana.

Dilute at this point if desired.

Store in an air tight container, up to 30 days on the shelf. Freeze in ice cube trays if longer storage is desired.

Your honey selection will vary based on what you have access to, but I would stick to as close to organic, raw liquid honey. Creamed honeys won’t quite cook with the same consistency.

Starting with the right ingredients will finish you off with the right product. I always use clarified butter for my BakedBaking recipes. If you don’t have clarified butter, you can clarify it yourself, just know that you will lose some of the weight when you do. For your convenience, I will go over how to do that yourself.

Clarifying Butter:
Melt the butter in a sauce pan over low heat, do not stir during this process.

Let simmer and naturally separate into three layers – foamy top, clear middle, solid bottom. Remove the foamy layers as they form and discard.

After some time there will be no more foamy layers that form and you will be left with a clear, golden liquid above a solid layer that forms to the bottom of the sauce pan.

Using cheesecloth or a sieve, strain any remaining foam or sediment that might loosen from the bottom of the pan as you pour the liquid into a glass baking container and allow to set until completely firm.

Infusing Butter:
Dope Dosage (use flower OR shake, not both):

	Lightweight	Moderate	Chronic
Flower	9 grams	18 grams	36 grams
Shake	18 grams	36 grams	72 grams
Clarified Butter Water*	per 1 1/4 cups 2 cups	per 1 1/4 cups 4 cups	per 1 1/4 cups 8 cups

Remember that decarboxylation process:

	Temperature	Time (high THC)	Time (high CBD)
Oven	275 F/135 C	10 minutes	15 minutes
Boiling Water	(rolling boil)	20 – 30 minutes	30 – 45 minutes

To Start:
Weigh out your weed and decarb it. First, in the oven, remembering to keep the layer less than an inch thick, use multiple baking pans if you are doing a big batch. Then, scoop it into a pot of boiling water. The size of your pot will depend on the size of your batch. The amount of water you use will depend only on the dosage you choose, no matter how big of a batch you make.

Lightweight: 2 cups water
Moderate: 4 cups water
Chronic: 8 cups water

Be mindful of how much space the water and weed will take up, but don’t use a pot that is too big for your batch or you will risk boiling off your butter in the infusion process. You want your weed to be entirely immersed, while also keeping the exposed surface area as small as possible. Every pothead will have to play with the tools in their own kitchen to find the right fit for each dosage. If you are a brand new baker, start with a small batch of theLightweight dose in a small pot and learn your way up! I use a tall stock pot, because I make TheChronic in big batches!

While your weed is boiling away in the water bath, melt your clarified butter.

Add the melted butter directly to the larger pot holding the water/weed mixture.

Timing:
Simmer, uncovered, stirring every half hour or so.

Four hours for a small batch (the basic ratio). Add additional time for additional weight (remember)! Specifically, an extra 30 minutes cook time for each batch size increase.

The Set:
Strain through sieve and cheesecloth into a sturdy pot, you are going to press the cooked weed to strain as much liquid as you can from it so you want this pot to be able to hold some pressure.

When your weed has stopped dripping, use the bottom side of a metal bowl to press the remaining liquid from the cooked weed.

Choose a glass container that will fit all of the liquid when you have finished pressing.

Transfer the liquid to your glass container and allow to set to room temperature before transferring to the fridge overnight.

To Finish:
Remove your set product from the fridge. At this point you will have two distinct substances: a solid green mass and some brownish liquid. The solid green substance should slide easily from the glass container, just poke a butter knife along an edge and lift it out. Place it, wet side down, on a paper towel and give it a good slide across. This should result in a layer of sediment being left on the paper towel. The paper towel and the remaining water from under your solid chunk can both be tossed or composted.

Melt the solid mass, over low heat, and strain again through the sieve and cheese cloth combination, this time into a container that you can easily make measured pours from.

Choose glass containers that are the size and shape of the Budter forms you want for your finished product. I use a rectangular glass container that can hold up to two cups, but I only pour one cup in. I prefer to have my Budter stored in the freezer (after setting) in single cup portions for easy use later. You should choose a size that is convenient for you!

Transfer the liquid to your glass containers of choice.

Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge overnight.

*NOTE: after setting, you can individually wrap and freeze your Budter for up to six months.

Be mindful of how much space the water and weed will take up, but don’t use a pot that is too big for your batch or you will risk boiling off your coconut oil in the infusion process.

When your weed has stopped dripping, use the bottom side of a metal bowl to press the remaining liquid from the cooked weed. You will notice some of what is pressed out is quite green and some is slightly brown, don’t worry, this is fine! There will be some water that didn’t cook off, it will separate in the solidification process.

Choose a glass container that will fit all of the liquid when you have finished pressing.

Transfer the liquid to your glass container and allow to set to room temperature before transferring to the fridge overnight. You will have pulp left over – cooked marijuana. If you have followed this process, it has lost most, if not all, of the THC/CBD at this point so you can confidently compost it.

To Finish:
Remove your set product from the fridge. At this point you will have two distinct substances: a solid green mass and some brownish liquid.

This is the spot where rookie cooks often get lost and waste a bunch of weed. Then everyone eats those edibles and they don’t really get high so they think “weed doesn’t effect me, man!” Later, they may eat too much of a properly prepared edible and green out because they overestimate their consumption capabilities due to the earlier rookie cook’s mistake. Did I lose you yet?

In BasicBud terms, decarboxylation means “activate the weed.”

No matter how much marijuana you are using, you will want to follow some consistent guidelines:

Make sure your marijuana is spread out in a thin, even layer across whatever pan you use. You don’t want the layer to be more than an inch thick or you will risk uneven decarboxylation.

If you are using fresh flower, bust it up! It shouldn’t be powder, but it shouldn’t be big buds either!

There are many ways to do this, the way I outline here is my own.

Some of these infusions require a water bath process, some involve double broiling. Please read each recipe completely before beginning to make sure you follow the correct process for each BudBasic Batch, you don’t want to water bath anything you can’t separate later.

You will also notice there is an extra portion of your carrier in each of these infusions. That is because some will naturally cook off in the process. To finish with an even cup, I have always found it wise to start with a little extra.
