Cannabis-Infused Lucky Green Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

St. Patrick’s Day Savory Muffins with Infused Honey Butter Drizzle

A Note on Dosing:

This recipe makes 12 large muffins.

We calculate dosing using 1.5g of 15% THC flower. Always calculate based on your cannabis potency.

Approximate Dose (using 1.5g of 15% THC flower):
~55mg THC total (infused into the honey butter drizzle).
~4–5mg per muffin.

For lighter servings, cut muffins in half (~2–2.5mg each).

Alternative Dosing:
• Use 1g flower for ~3mg per muffin
• Use 2g flower for ~7–8mg per muffin

Terpene Pairing Suggestion:

Choose a Caryophyllene and Limonene-dominant strain.

Caryophyllene enhances jalapeño heat and sharp cheddar. Limonene brightens the sweet honey finish, creating a lively, balanced edible experience.
