Baking infused gluten free recipes can be incredibly daunting. Not only are you trying to infuse your recipes with CBD or THC, you are baking them gluten-free also, which adds another level of difficulty.
Have no fear! I am going to break down how to bake with cannabis for you. If you have any questions I haven’t answered, please ask in a comment below and I’ll answer them, and add them to this page.
How do you infuse gluten free baked goods with cannabis?
Infusing gluten free cookies and brownies with CBD or THC is much easier than you may think. While you can infuse many difference substances with cannabis, we are going to stick to the easiest, and most accessible marijuana infusion methods as we learn how to bake with marijuana.
- CBD or THC Distillate
- CBD or THC Infused Oil or Butter
Infusing Gluten Free Recipes with Distillate THC or CBD
The easiest method for starting out is to use a purchased CBD or THC distillate and add it directly to your recipe. Some Distillates are water soluble, which means you can very easily dissolve them in whatever liquid you are using in your recipe (milk, water, etc.)
Some THC Distillates may still need to be dissolved in oil. Just mix them with the oil in your recipe until evenly blended (you may need to gently heat it, to melt your TCH concentrate), and then add it to your recipe.
You should be able to get directions from your dispensary, or from the packaging of your distillate for the best way to dissolve your distillate before adding to your “baked” baked goods.

Gluten Free Weed Brownies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Cannabis-Butter *Melted
- 3 Cups White Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Directions:
- To make these delicious gluten free weed brownies, you will only need a few things. You will need an oven, 9×13-inch baking dish, some mixing bowls, a wire rack and a toothpick.
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Then lightly grease the 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with aluminum foil. This will ensure the brownies do not stick to the pan when you remove them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cannabis-butter, sugar, and vanilla. Then beat in the 4 eggs one at a time while thoroughly mixing after each one. Ensure the mixture is well blended.
- Now using a separate mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Once it is sifted together, gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until its well blended.
- Optional* stir in the cup of chocolate chips. This step is optional depending on your preferences.
- Now once the batter has been thoroughly blended, spread it into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. To check when the gluten free weed brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean they’re ready (can easily pull out), usually 35-40 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool off before dividing it up into the desired serving sizes.

Different Methods of Making Cannabis Peanut Butter
Method #1
If you don’t have cannabis peanut butter on hand, you can easily make some. Start by decarboxylating cannabis. Break dry cannabis into small pieces before placing in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes at 240°F. Next, grind decarboxylated cannabis to a fine powder. Finally, mix ground cannabis thoroughly into peanut butter.
Method #2
The second method of infusing peanut butter is probably the easiest. Simply mix together decarbed tincture and peanut butter.
Method #3
Thirdly, you can infuse peanut butter with concentrates. Dissolve BHO, RSO or other decarbed concentrates into a small amount of warm cooking oil. Cool oil and mix thoroughly with peanut butter afterward.
Method #4
If you are incredibly ambitious and like to spend time in the kitchen, then you can make your own peanut butter. To start, roast peanuts. Next, mix roasted peanuts with infused oil or oil/decarbed dry flower in a food processor. Add a bit of sugar in order to stiffen the mixture. Use partially hydrogenated oil to prevent the peanut butter from separating. Finally, salt your cannabis peanut butter if desired.
Types of peanut butter
Even though there are 2 types of peanut butter, you can use either type to make cannabis peanut butter cookies. The first type is smooth, which spreads easily but may result in flatter cookies. The second type is crunchy, where crushed peanuts are added to peanut butter to create a crunchy texture.
Natural peanut butter contains only roasted ground peanuts. Because the oil separates, stir before using the product. Subsequently, this recipe was not tested using natural peanut butter.
