Cannabis Infused Cornbread Muffins: 5-Step Air Fryer Recipe

These cannabis infused cornbread muffins are ready in just 10 minutes using an air fryer, and the infusion swap is dead simple — replace the regular butter with cannabutter. Fordee from Herbistry420 developed this air fryer cornbread muffin recipe as a quick, reliable way to produce a batch of 17 fluffy, buttery muffins that work equally well as a side dish or as a discreet cannabis edible. No baking experience required.

Cannabis Infused Cornbread Muffins: Ingredients

This recipe uses one bowl of dry ingredients and one bowl of wet ingredients. The infused version swaps regular butter for cannabutter — everything else stays the same.

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal (corn flour)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

• ½ cup butter (1 stick / 113g) — use cannabutter for the infused version
• 1½ cups whole milk
• 2 eggs

Makes approximately 17 muffins. Whole milk is recommended for baking — the fat content keeps the muffins moist and fluffy.

Air Fryer Cornbread Muffin Recipe: Step-by-Step

1. Pre-mix the dry ingredients. Combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Doing this ahead saves time and keeps the video moving — Fordee pre-mixes off-camera for the same reason.
2. Add wet ingredients. Melt the butter and pour it into the dry mix. Add 1½ cups of whole milk and 2 eggs. Mix until combined — do not overmix or the muffins will come out dense.
3. Preheat the air fryer. Set to 165°C (330°F) and preheat for 5 minutes. If your air fryer only adjusts in 10-degree increments like Fordee’s, set it to 170°C — the slight difference is fine for this air fryer cornbread muffin recipe.
4. Fill silicone muffin cups. Use silicone muffin cups from an air fryer accessory kit — no greasing needed, the muffins pop out clean. Fill each cup about three-quarters full to leave room for rising. A tip from the video: use another cup to scrape batter off the spoon for a cleaner fill.
5. Cook for 9–10 minutes. Place the muffin cups in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 9–10 minutes. Test with a knife or toothpick — if it comes out clean, they are done. The muffins should be golden on top and fully set through the center.
6. Cool and serve. Gently squeeze the silicone cups to release each muffin. Serve warm with a pat of butter. If infused, note the dosage per muffin based on your cannabutter potency before serving.

Cannabis Cornbread Recipe: How to Infuse with Cannabutter

The infusion method in this cannabis cornbread recipe is straightforward: substitute the half cup of regular butter with an equal amount of cannabutter. One ingredient swap, same recipe, same process. The finished muffins look, smell, and taste identical to uninfused cornbread muffins — which is exactly the point.

Fordee calls this “cheating a little bit” — and technically it is, since the butter is not infused during the cooking process itself. But the result is the same: each muffin carries a consistent portion of your cannabutter, making dosage straightforward. Divide the total cannabutter potency by the number of muffins (17) to get your per-muffin dose.

For a reliable cannabis infused cornbread batch, use a cannabutter you have already tested for potency. Strong cannabutter in a small muffin hits harder than it looks — start with one muffin and wait before eating another.

Tips for Perfect Weed Infused Cornbread

A few things from the video that make a real difference when making weed infused cornbread muffins:

• Use silicone muffin cups, not a cake tin. Fordee tried making one big cornbread in a cake tin and it did not cook evenly through the center. Individual silicone muffin cups cook consistently and release cleanly with no greasing needed.
• Fill three-quarters full. Underfilling leads to thin, flat muffins. Overfilling causes batter to spill during the rise. Three-quarters is the sweet spot for a properly domed top.
• Whole milk over reduced fat. The fat in whole milk contributes to the fluffy, moist texture. Reduced fat milk produces a denser muffin.
• Use a heat-resistant glove. The silicone cups get hot inside the air fryer. A barbecue-style heat glove makes it easy to reposition cups and remove the basket safely.
• Watch the last minute. At 170°C the muffins can finish closer to 9 minutes than 10. Check at 9 minutes to avoid over-browning the tops.
• Know your dose. For weed infused cornbread, label the batch if sharing. Not everyone knows how strong your cannabutter runs.
