Equipment

Preparing the CBD-Infused Muffin Batter:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and CBD-infused oil until well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
  • If using an electric mixer or stand mixer, use the lowest speed or mix by hand with a rubber spatula.
  • The batter may have some lumps, but make sure there are no dry pockets of flour.
  • Set the muffin batter aside.

Adding Chocolate Chips and Fillings

  • Add the chocolate chips to the muffin batter and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
  • If desired, you can also add additional fillings, such as chopped nuts, dried fruits, or other CBD-infused ingredients.
  • Gently fold in the fillings, being careful not to overmix the batter.

Baking the Muffins

  • Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Optional: Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for added visual appeal.
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

Cooling and Serving

  • Once the muffins are baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the muffins from the tin and transfer them to the cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once the muffins have cooled, they are ready to be served.
  • Enjoy the CBD-infused chocolate chip muffins as a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert option.

  • They can be stored for up to 3 days, but for the best freshness, consume them within 1-2 days.
  • If desired, you can also store the muffins in the refrigerator for slightly longer shelf life.
  • To reheat the muffins, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
