🔑 Cannabis Cornbread Recipe: Key Takeaways
- Comfort food elevated: Classic honey cornbread made with cannabis-infused butter for a savory, seasonal treat
- Even infusion: Mix cannabutter thoroughly into the batter before baking for consistent dosing per slice
- Test for precision: Know your cannabutter's exact strength with a tCheck potency tester before baking — the cannabutter used here tested at 29 mg/tbsp
Nothing hits the spot like a warm pan of Cannabis Infused Honey Cornbread!
With Autumn right around the corner, I've been taking my infusions up a notch with some seasonal favorites. Cornbread gives me big fall vibes, and the smell of fresh cornbread baking has always been my favorite. Anyone who knows me knows that ever since I learned how to make my own infusions, I've been infusing everything — to the point where "is this infused?" is a common question in my household.
I made this to side with chili for a little "elevated experience" and had the leftovers in the morning with breakfast. The sweet and savory flavors of the chili were phenomenal, and just as good alone with some (regular) butter!
Ingredients
- 1 box Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix (a personal go-to)
- 1/3 cup of infused cannabutter — tested with tCheck to be 29 mg per tablespoon
- 2/3 cup of milk
- 2 eggs (recipe calls for 1, but I don't like odd numbers)
- Optional: 1 can of sweet cream corn — just do it
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Keep your pre-greased skillet in the oven for about 5 minutes to get it nice and hot.
- Mix the batter: Combine cornbread mix, cannabutter, milk, eggs, and the optional sweet cream corn. Mix until just blended, then spoon the batter into the hot skillet.
- Bake: Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Make honey butter glaze: While the cornbread bakes, hand-whip together 1 stick of infused cannabutter and 2 tablespoons of honey. Microwave for just under 30 seconds until melted and combined.
- Glaze and cool: Once the cornbread is done baking, pour the melted honey butter over the entire cake to glaze. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Dig in! After the 10 minutes are done, it's time to enjoy.
With the help of tCheck, I was able to test my infusion and had the cornbread coming in at a whopping 377 mg total and 47 mg per slice!

Dosage Guide: How to Calculate Your Per-Slice THC
The most common mistake with cannabis edibles is not knowing the dose going in. Here's how the math works for this recipe:
| Variable | This Recipe's Numbers | Your Batch |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabutter potency | 29 mg THC / tbsp | Test with tCheck |
| Cannabutter in batter | 1/3 cup (~5.3 tbsp) | Varies by recipe |
| Batter total THC (approx) | ~154 mg | Potency × tbsp |
| Glaze cannabutter | 1 stick (~8 tbsp) = ~232 mg | Test separately |
| Total batch THC | ~377 mg | Batter + glaze |
| Per slice (8 slices) | ~47 mg | Total ÷ slices |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the THC dose in each slice of cannabis cornbread?
Test your cannabutter with a tCheck potency tester before baking. Multiply the mg/tbsp reading by the total tablespoons used, then divide by the number of slices. In this recipe, cannabutter tested at 29 mg/tbsp produced approximately 377 mg total and 47 mg per slice.
Can I use store-bought cannabutter for this recipe?
Yes — but potency varies widely between batches and sources. Always test your cannabutter with tCheck so you know the exact THC concentration before cooking. Guessing your dosage is the most common cause of overconsumption with edibles.
What cornbread mix works best for this recipe?
Stoney Macaroni uses Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix for its natural sweetness, which pairs beautifully with the honey butter glaze. Any standard cornbread mix works — just substitute cannabutter for the recipe's butter or oil component at a 1:1 ratio.
How should I store leftover cannabis cornbread?
Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for longer storage. Always label infused leftovers clearly so no one eats them by accident.
Does the honey butter glaze add to the total THC?
Yes — if you use infused cannabutter in the glaze, it adds significantly to the total dose. In this recipe, the glaze used a full stick of cannabutter, contributing the majority of the 377 mg batch total. You can use regular butter for the glaze if you want a lower-dose result.
