Instructions

  1. 1
    Warm cannabis butter gently until soft but not liquid.
  2. 2
    Mix all ingredients except coconut flakes in large bowl.
  3. 3
    Knead with hands until formable mass develops. Too dry? Add honey. Too wet? Add more oats.
  4. 4
    Chill mass 15 minutes in refrigerator — easier to shape then.
  5. 5
    Using slightly damp hands, form walnut-sized balls (~1 oz / 30g each).
  6. 6
    Optional: Roll in coconut flakes, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts.
  7. 7
    Chill on tray 30 minutes in refrigerator until firm.
  8. 8
    Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

Pro Tips

  • Natural peanut butter (peanuts only) binds the mass better than commercial brands with added sugar.
  • Protein powder is optional — works fine without it, just use 1 oz (30g) more oats.
  • Shelf life: 1 week refrigerator, 3 months freezer. Eat frozen directly, no thawing needed.
