Quick breads are a great thing for a cannabis cook. So easy, so tasty and you probably already have the ingredients to make one right now.
Do you have some cannabutter at the ready? I hope so. But if you need to make some, check out the simple steps here.
This peanut butter bread is rich and moist and has the most wonderful peanutty flavor. I was given a case of my favorite peanut butter (Bliss Nut Butter) and I am going wild medicating everything peanut butter, from soup to peanut butter ice cream.
This PB bread toasts well and also can be griddled in a non-stick pan and served with a scoop of ice cream on top.
I like to use chunky peanut butter but it is your call. I like the texture better with the chopped peanuts.
The strain that I used to make this butter is Chem Dawg. This crazy-potent hybrid has a strong smell and taste, and it is a long-lasting, upbeat high. This particular strain tested at 23 percent THC, and it was a very intense and cerebral high.
I used the cannabutter to also make a simple sautéed chicken dish with lemon and capers, as well as a sweet potato soup because I am testing other winter recipes. I recommend trying out the soup, which I shared with The Cannabist — it turned out great.
