Instructions
Prep the Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake/muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, sugars, and oil until smooth. Stir in vanilla, grated carrots, and pineapple.
Add Delta 8 Tincture
Measure 0.8 ml of the Your Budz Delta 8 tincture (equal to 240mg total) and stir evenly into the wet mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Combine & Fold In
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold in chopped nuts if using.
Fill & Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 cupcake liners. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool & Frost
Let cupcakes cool completely. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beat until smooth. Frost cooled cupcakes as desired.
Dosing Notes
This recipe assumes your tincture is 30ml = 900mg Delta 8. That equals 30mg per ml.
- 0.8 ml = 240mg total → 12 cupcakes → 20mg per cupcake.Adjust the quantity if your tincture concentration is different.
🌟 Enjoy Responsibly
Start with half a cupcake to test effects, especially if you’re new to Delta 8. Effects may take 60–90 minutes. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
