Growing up, I always loved watching cooking shows on TV. The way the chefs effortlessly created delicious treats sparked my curiosity and inspired me to try my hand at cooking. As I grew older, I discovered a passion for baking, and one particular area of interest is making edibles. There’s something magical about the combination of cannabis and baked goods that never fails to impress. Today, I want to share with you a quick and easy way to make edibles in the microwave.

The Cannabis Addition:
Prepare Your Tools
Before diving into the recipe, make sure you have the necessary tools on hand:
Now that you have your ingredients and tools ready, let’s move on to the step-by-step process of making microwave edibles.
Mix it Up
First, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds or until fully melted. Once melted, add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk or mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and have reached a smooth consistency.
Adding the Cannabis Magic
Next, it’s time to add the cannabis-infused coconut oil and the finely ground cannabis strain. Gently stir these into the mixture, ensuring that the cannabis is evenly distributed throughout the batter. If you’re using soy lecithin, now would be the perfect time to add it as well. The soy lecithin acts as a binder and helps with the absorption of cannabinoids.
Bring it Together
Now, it’s time to add the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture in the microwave-safe bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well incorporated, and the batter becomes luscious and thick.
Time to Cook
Once your batter is ready, it’s time to transfer it to a greased baking dish or mold. Ensure that the dish or mold allows the mixture to spread evenly and cook uniformly.
Place the dish or mold in the microwave and cook on high power for about 3-4 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave, so keep a close eye on the progress. You’ll know it’s done when the edges of the brownie start to pull away from the sides of the dish, and the center is set.
Cool and Enjoy
Let your delicious cannabis-infused brownie cool for a few minutes before carefully removing it from the dish. Once it has cooled completely, cut it into bite-sized pieces, and savor the flavors that you’ve created right in your microwave.
You can store your microwave edibles in an airtight container for up to a week, provided they last that long. Remember to label them clearly and keep them out of reach of children or anyone who shouldn’t be consuming cannabis.
Experiment, Explore, and Enjoy
Now that you know the quick and easy way to make edibles in the microwave, don’t be afraid to get creative and explore different flavors and variations. The possibilities are endless! Whether you prefer brownies, cookies, or any other baked goods, the microwave can be your best friend in infusing your homemade treats with the goodness of cannabis.
As always, remember to consume your edibles responsibly. Start slow and wait for the effects to kick in before indulging further. Enjoy the journey of making these microwave edibles, but also prioritize your well-being and the safety of others.
So why wait? Grab your ingredients, gear up your microwave, and get ready to embark on a culinary adventure that combines the joy of baking with the thrill of cannabis-infused delicacies. Happy microwaving, my fellow epicureans!
