Ingredients (Makes 18–20 bites)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (or almond/cashew)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp infused fat (cannabutter or infused coconut oil) or 2–4 tsp infused honey/syrup (see Dosage)
- 1 1/2 cups old‑fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

- Pinch fine sea salt
Equipment
- Mixing bowl & spatula
- Measuring cups/spoons
- Sheet pan lined with parchment
- 1 tbsp scoop (optional)
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Warm the base (30 seconds). If your peanut butter or infused fat is firm, gently warm until stirrable.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a bowl, stir together peanut butter, honey/maple, infused fat or infused sweetener, vanilla, and salt until glossy.
- Add the dry. Fold in oats, chia (or flax), and chocolate chips. Mixture should be thick and slightly tacky—add 1–2 tbsp oats if too wet, or 1–2 tsp honey if too dry.
- Portion. Scoop 1 tbsp portions and roll into balls. Place on the lined sheet.
- Chill. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes to set. Enjoy!
Dosage & Potency Calculator
Decide whether you’re using infused fat (cannabutter/infused coconut oil) or an infused sweetener (honey/syrup). Use the formula below to target your per‑bite dose.
If Using Infused Fat
Per‑teaspoon potency (mg) = (grams of cannabis × THC or CBD % × 1000 × extraction efficiency) ÷ teaspoons of infused fat
- Typical efficiency: 70% (use 0.70).
- 1 cup fat: 48 tsp.
Example: 7 g at 20% THC → 7 × 0.20 × 1000 × 0.70 = 980 mg in the batch. If you made 1 cup (48 tsp), potency ≈ 20 mg/tsp. If this recipe uses 2 tbsp (6 tsp), total added = 120 mg. Divide by 20 bites → ~6 mg per bite.
If Using Infused Honey/Syrup
Use the labeled potency (e.g., 5 mg/tsp). If you add 3 tsp to the batch and make 20 bites → 0.75 mg per bite. Combine with plain honey for sweetness without increasing dose.
Target Dose Guide (per bite): Beginners 1–3 mg, Moderate 3–7 mg, Experienced 7–10 mg+. Always label and start low, go slow.
Flavor & Strain Pairings
| Strain | Flavor Notes | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Gelato | Creamy, sweet, dessert‑like | Accentuates peanut butter’s richness; dessert vibes with chocolate chips. |
| OG Kush | Earthy, herbal, peppery | Balances sweetness; great for evening bites. |
| Harlequin (CBD) | Woody, mango, mild | Daytime clarity—ideal for CBD‑forward batches. |
| Lemon Haze | Citrus, bright | Citrus sparks lift the nutty base—add lemon zest for synergy. |
