Infused with PureNative's water-soluble CBD drops, this recipe offers a calming touch, making it a must-try for your 2025 wellness routine.

Ingredients (Makes 24 bites)

• 2 cups hemp granola
• ¾ cup vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup honey
• ¾ cup hemp milk
• 16 oz fresh blueberries
• 12mL PureNative water-soluble CBD drops (336mg CBD)

Tools

• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring cups
• Rubber spatula
• Silicone baking molds (24)
• 24-cup muffin tray
• Oven

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients
   In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, including PureNative CBD drops, until well combined. The mixture should be cohesive and slightly sticky. Let it rest in the bowl for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to congeal.
2. Prepare Baking Molds
   Once the mixture reaches the right consistency, evenly distribute it into silicone baking molds or a 24-cup muffin tray.
3. Bake to Perfection
   Bake the granola bites at 250°F for 20 minutes. This temperature ensures the CBD retains its beneficial properties without degrading.
4. Cool and Set
   Allow the granola bites to cool completely in the molds before serving. This step is essential for the bites to firm up and hold their shape. If they’re not cooled enough, they may crumble.

CBD Baking Tip

CBD’s boiling point typically ranges between 320°F and 356°F, and it begins to degrade at higher temperatures. This recipe’s low baking temperature of 250°F ensures the CBD retains its potency. For optimal results, CBD is often added after baking, but this recipe balances convenience and efficacy perfectly.
