Gather Your Ingredients

Before you commence concocting your own cannabis-infused granola, ensure that all components are present. You'll need oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, sweeteners, and cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter.

• Start with old-fashioned rolled oats for a hearty base.
• For an extra crunchy texture, try adding nuts like almonds, walnuts or pecans.
• Include some seeds for added nutrition and texture, such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or sunflower seeds.
• Get creative with dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or apricots.
• Sweeten things up with maple syrup or honey.
• For the cannabis infusion, use coconut oil or butter that has been infused with your preferred strain.
• Attempt to liven up the flavor by incorporating cinnamon, vanilla essence, or other spices.

Remember to experiment and have fun with your ingredients to create a granola that's uniquely yours.

Make Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil or Butter for Delicious Granola

Heat decarboxylated cannabis in melted coconut oil or butter for two hours over low heat.

• For every cup of coconut oil, use approximately 7 grams of decarbed cannabis.
• For butter, melt one pound over low heat before adding an ounce of decarbed marijuana.

Remember to stir occasionally to prevent burning and strain out any plant material before storing your finished product in a cool, dark place or the fridge for extended shelf life.

Now you're ready to add your cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter to your granola recipe for a tasty and potent treat.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Ready to learn how to make some cannabis-infused granola? Let's start by measuring out 4 cups of rolled oats and tossing them in a big bowl.

For added crunch and flavor, throw in a cup of mixed nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans, and half a cup of mixed seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin, chia, flax, or hemp.

For a touch of sweetness, include half a cup of dried fruit such as raisins, cranberries or chopped dates but watch the sugar content.

• Oats: 4 cups rolled oats
• Nuts: 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds/walnuts/pecans)
• Seeds: Half a cup mixed seeds (sunflower/pumpkin/chia/flax/hemp)
• Dried Fruits: Half a cup dried fruit (raisins/cranberries/dates)

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon each of cinnamon and vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.

Give everything a good mix before adding in your cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter.

Add Cannabis-Infused Coconut Oil or Butter

Mix your dry ingredients and add the magic touch: cannabis-infused coconut oil or butter.

Melt the infused oil or butter before adding it to the mixture to ensure even distribution of cannabinoids throughout your granola.

Slowly pour the cannabis-infused oil or butter over your dry ingredients while stirring continuously to coat every piece of granola with an equal amount of THC and other cannabinoids present in your infusion.

Start with a small amount (around 1/4 cup) of infused oil or butter and adjust based on desired potency, remembering to start low and go slow when consuming homemade cannabis products.

• Melt cannabis-infused coconut oil/butter before adding
• Pour slowly over dry ingredients while stirring continuously
• Adjust dosage based on desired potency - start low and go slow.

Note: Be cautious not to exceed temperatures above 320°F (160°C) during baking as this may cause degradation of THC content in your granola.

Bake Granola

Ready to bake your cannabis-infused granola? Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the granola once it's done.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to avoid burning.

Once golden brown, remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack without stirring to create those delicious clumps.

• Preheat: Set oven at 300°F (150°C).
• Parchment Paper: Line baking sheet for easy removal & cleanup.
• Baking Time: Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.
• Cooling: Allow granola to cool completely on a wire rack without stirring.

Remember, THC potency increases when heated, so be cautious when consuming warm edibles. Wait at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to kick in and start with a small portion.

Storing Your Cannabis-Infused Granola

Congratulations on baking your delicious cannabis-infused granola. Now, it's crucial to store it correctly to maintain its freshness and potency while keeping it away from children and pets.

First, let the granola cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container, preferably a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid to prevent moisture and air from entering.

• Label the container clearly with "Cannabis-Infused" and other relevant information, such as the strain used, dosage per serving, and date made.
• Store your infused granola in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent cannabinoid degradation.

Remember to consume your cannabis-infused granola responsibly by starting with a small portion and waiting at least an hour before consuming more if needed. Everyone's tolerance varies, so be mindful of consumption guidelines.
