Cannabis Infused Cornbread Muffins: 5-Step Air Fryer Recipe

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.
