Simple Weed Brownie Recipe

Infused baked goods are a delicious and effective way to reap the therapeutic effects of cannabis. And brownies are one of the OG edibles that people enjoy. Weed brownies are often made at home, and recipes continue to get better (and more varied) as cooking with cannabis becomes a more accessible activity. But which tasty, effortless weed brownie recipe outshines the rest?

Can You Bake With Weed?

Yes, you most certainly can! Baking with weed can be a delicious and fun option. Consider this weed brownie recipe if you’re new to baking with cannabis.

How many grams of weed do you need for a brownie?

This recipe makes 12 servings. The dosage of each piece will depend on the amount of cannabis you use. Use an edible calculator to quickly and easily calculate the dosage of each brownie. Mix the batter thoroughly so that each piece has a consistent dosage and the ingredients are evenly distributed.

If you’re looking for a lower dosage in your brownies, then you’ll most likely need about 0.5-1g of cannabis per brownie. You can increase this dosage as you see fit, but make sure to go slow if you’re new to cannabis.

Do Weed Brownies Smell When You Bake Them?

Most people find that weed brownies do smell when you bake them. While the smell will likely be more subtle than making weed butter, you should still expect an aroma.

Weed Brownie Recipe 

Follow the steps below to make a delectably potent cannabis brownie.

Note: The following ingredients and instructions do not include information on how to decarb weed, so be sure you’ve completed that step first. 

Ingredients

• 7.5 tbsp unsalted, non-infused butter
• 1.5 tsp cannabutter
• 6 oz dark chocolate
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ¼  tsp salt

Optional ingredient: Add 2 tbsp malted milk powder for a thicker texture. 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter. If you choose to grease the pan with butter, make sure that it’s a thin layer, or it may burn.
2. Melt the cannabutter and unsalted butter together over medium-low heat. Both kinds of butter should take a few minutes to melt and combine fully.
3. Once the butter is melted, stir in the chocolate. This step is complete when the butter and chocolate combine and the texture is smooth.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. If you choose to add malted milk powder, add it during this step.
6. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. The mixture is ready when it’s fluffy and mildly yellow.
7. Add the chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture. Stir until smooth.
8. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
9. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges pull away from the pan, and the top has a shiny crust.
10. Remove the finished brownies from the oven. Allow them to cool for 20 minutes before digging in.

We recommend serving these brownies warm, but they’re also amazing at room temperature. If you want to save some brownies for later, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator at room temperature for up to a month. Take a moment to label the container you store the brownies in so that everyone in the household is aware they are infused with cannabis. 

Always keep your edibles away from accessible places to children or pets. A locked box can be a great way to gain peace of mind and ensure you store edibles responsibly.

Fun Weed Brownie Variations

We love how easily this recipe can be customized to different tastes! Here are some quick changes to suit various preferences. 

• Dark chocolate is healthier, but milk chocolate is great for sweeter brownies. White chocolate chips are also an option, though exclusively using them rather than chocolate chips will make the recipe ‘blondies’ instead.
• Add a tablespoon or two of coffee to give your brownies a hint of mocha flavor. Take note of the batter's texture; adding just a touch more flour may be necessary, depending on the thickness.
• Consider the right butter to use. For a richer flavor, use salted butter. 

These are just a few ways to get creative with this pot brownie recipe, so feel free to explore. Do you love chocolate chips? Add them in! Do you prefer a crunch and pop of color? Why not throw in some sprinkles? Making this recipe your own can improve your cannabis experience and make sure that the taste aligns with your preferences.
