Cannabis Granola Recipe

During a camping trip or hike, the natural environment surrounds you, with birds singing in your ear as a simple greeting. However, after a while, the trek can become tedious. What could you do to make your experience more exciting?

If your usual trail mix just isn't doing the trick, it might be time for an upgrade. Something to really heighten your senses.

That's right. We're talking cannabis-infused granola bars.

You can pass them around or keep them to yourself, eat them on the go, or while you unwind at home. Whatever you decide to do, one thing’s for sure—these edibles won’t last long. So, get ready to bake as we share our easy recipe for the best cannabis-infused granola bars!

Granola vs. Granola Bars

Granola and granola bars are essentially the same thing, except granola is crumbly, whereas granola bars are held together with a binding agent.

With this in mind, we decided to give you two recipes. Each will offer a different taste, texture, and overall experience.

With cannabis-infused granola, the opportunities are endless. You can eat it by the handful or use it as a topping for yogurt, overnight oats, and smoothie bowls.

While granola has its advantages, granola bars are your best bet if you want something shareable, taken on the go, and easier to measure out.

Before making these recipes, make sure you have cannabutter handy. Don’t have any? Here is our quick and easy recipe to make cannabutter.
