How to Make Cannabis Brownies

Making cannabis brownies is a fun way to enjoy edibles, and it’s easier than you might think. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned baker, I’m going to walk you through the process. How to make cannabis brownies starts with understanding a few key steps and using the right ingredients. Let’s get into it!

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make the best cannabis brownies, you need just a few ingredients. Here’s the list:

• 1 cup of butter (or margarine if you prefer)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup of flour
• 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
• Your cannabis-infused butter or oil (This is the key to the magic!)

How to Make Cannabis Brownies

Now, let’s get to the steps. Making these brownies is super simple, especially when you’ve already got some cannabis-infused butter ready to go. Here’s the process:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature to get your brownies nice and baked.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix your cannabis butter, sugar, and eggs. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The butter you use will determine the potency, so be mindful of how much cannabis you infuse.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Once your wet ingredients are smooth, slowly stir in the dry mixture until everything is well blended.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

Grease a baking pan (8×8 works great) and pour your brownie mix into it. Pop the pan into your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them – you’ll know they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

Step 5: Let Them Cool

Once your brownies are done, let them cool down a bit. It’s tempting, but try not to dive in too soon. Letting them set for a few minutes will make them easier to cut and enjoy.

How to Infuse Cannabis Butter

The magic happens with cannabis butter. Here’s a quick breakdown on how to make it:

• Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of ground cannabis (decarboxylated)
• Steps:
  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan on low heat.
  2. Add your decarboxylated cannabis and stir.
  3. Simmer on low for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Strain the butter through a cheesecloth to remove the plant material.
  5. Store the infused butter in the fridge.

Tips for the Perfect Cannabis Brownies

• Decarboxylate Your Cannabis: Before you infuse your butter, make sure your cannabis is decarboxylated. This step activates the THC, giving you the full effect.
• Start Low and Go Slow: If you’re new to edibles, start with a smaller portion of the brownies. Edibles can hit harder than smoking or vaping, so take your time.
• Store Properly: Keep your brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. You can store them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for longer shelf life.
• Potency Control: The potency of your brownies depends on the strength of your cannabis butter. Start with a lower dose and adjust in future batches to get your perfect balance.
