What is CBD?

CBD means cannabinoid. It is an exciting compound from the hemp plant. What makes it exciting is the many properties in the compound. Currently, CBD is undergoing various medical and scientific research. Ueberall et al. (2019) noted that CBD might have the ability to cure various conditions such as chronic pain and depression. CBD is the second most abundant compound in the hemp plant. The most abundant one is THC, the compound known to make its users high. This is among the major reasons people avoid taking CBD products because they fear getting high. CBD is not psychoactive; it is loaded with health benefits. Your body has an endocannabinoid system. The receptors in the system detect the presence of CBD molecules affecting how the body works. You can get CBD in oil, tinctures, gummies, supplements, drinks, or edibles.


What are the Benefits of Taking CBD?

The human body has an endocannabinoid system through which CBD goes through. The system has receptors transmitting the compound throughout the body affecting its functions. According to Katchan et al. (2016), endocannabinoids are responsible for regulating appetite, moods, sleep, and pain, among other functions. Baswan et al. (2020) explained that CBD has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that calm pain and help maintain healthy skin. CBD is known for treating cancer-related pain, especially one that occurs during treatment. Campos et al. (2016) showed that CBD can improve heart health and provide the body with neuroprotective properties. You do not necessarily need to take CBD in its raw state. You can enjoy infusing it in edibles such as blueberry muffins and still get all of its benefits.


How to Make the Best Blueberry Muffins with CBD

CBD is very sensitive. It can easily lose its potency due to mishandling. When baking, do not expose CBD to too much heat as it might lose its potency. Store CBD oil in airtight containers in a dark room as it is sensitive to light. Add CBD as the last ingredient while preparing your muffins. Do not use alternative ingredients, strictly use the ones provided in the recipe. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature. If you are using frozen blueberries, defrost them completely. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Excess liquid may make the dough wet.

  • A tester/toothpick
  • Whipping stick
  • 2 measuring cups
  • Teaspoons
  • Fridge(optional)
  • A dropper

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, spare some more flour to coat the berries, and dust the baking pan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. It might take up to 20 minutes for your oven to reach 350 degrees. Meanwhile, prepare the dough.
  • Line the cupcake tin. Smear some butter on the base and dust it with flour to prevent the muffins from sticking to the tin.
  • In the large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Combine them until smooth.
  • Add vanilla extract, and stir to mix them well.
  • Beat the egg in a small separate bowl and add it to the other ingredients in the mixing bowl. Combine them well.
  • Add milk, followed by CBD oil. Use droppers to scoop the oil. Mix them well to ensure CBD oil is infused well into the mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt)
  • Sieve them into the wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir at a medium speed until they are well combined. Do not over-mix, as it may make your muffins rubbery and dense.
  • In a separate bowl, toss blueberries with two teaspoons of flour. Tossing the berries in flour prevents the berries from sinking to the bottom.
  • Add the berries into the batter. Mix well to ensure the berries are evenly distributed.
  • Scoop batter into the muffin tins. Sprinkle some sugar on top (optional)
  • Bake for 18-21 minutes until the muffins are lightly brown on both sides. Insert a toothpick or a tester into the middle until it comes out clean. Do not regularly open the oven door. Cold air might get in, making the muffins sink.
