Definition of Weed Brownies
I have been curious about weed brownies since I first heard of them. As someone who enjoys both edibles and cannabis, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. After doing some research, I discovered that weed brownies are simply regular brownies made with cannabutter or cannabis-infused oil instead of regular butter. They provide a delicious way to enjoy the effects of cannabis without having to smoke it. Plus, you can make them in your own kitchen with just a few simple ingredients. With some creativity, you can customize your recipe to fit your own specific tastes and preferences. All it takes is a bit of preparation and patience to create some delicious pot brownies!
Necessary Tools and Ingredients
To enjoy the effects of cannabis without smoking it, making weed brownies is a great option. Before starting, gather some tools and ingredients. You’ll need a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray, melted unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, eggs, vanilla extract, and water. These ingredients will help make your brownies taste better.
To make weed brownies, gather your tools and ingredients. Start by making cannabutter or cannabis-infused oil, which can be done by decarboxylating your favorite strain or following a recipe online. Mix the melted butter or oil with the dry ingredients, then stir in the wet ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Let the brownies cool before serving.
Preparing the Cannabis Flower
Before beginning to make weed brownies, I carefully prepared the cannabis flower. First, I weighed out the amount that I wanted and then proceeded to decarboxylate it in the oven for about 25 minutes at 240°F. This process is necessary for activating THC, so it’s important for anyone who wishes to experience the full effects of cannabis edibles. After 25 minutes, I removed the cannabis from the oven and let it cool before grinding it up into small pieces with a grinder. Finally, once the cannabis flower was ready to be used in my recipe, I added it to a bowl containing melted butter or oil and stirred until everything was completely combined. Now my weed brownies were ready to bake!
Decarboxylation Process
I recently learned about the decarboxylation process and how it affects the potency of cannabis edibles. This process involves heating up cannabis flower in order to activate THC, which is necessary for creating potent weed brownies. To achieve this, I preheated my oven to 240°F and then placed my cannabis flower onto a baking sheet that was coated with cooking spray. After 25 minutes had passed, I removed the cannabis and let it cool before grinding it into small pieces with a grinder. I found that this step was essential for creating delicious pot brownies with an intense high!
Infusing with Butter or Oil
After researching different ways to infuse cannabis into edibles, I decided to try infusing with butter or oil. This process was much simpler than the decarboxylation process! All I needed was my ground cannabis flower, unsalted butter, and a saucepan. I began by combining the butter and cannabis in the pan over low heat and stirring until melted together. After about 15 minutes of stirring, I removed the mixture from heat and let it cool before straining it through a cheesecloth-lined sieve in order to remove any solids. The result? A rich and potent cannabutter that could easily be used for making weed brownies! The best part was that this method only took about half an hour of my time and yielded delicious results!
Storing Cannabutter or Cannaoil
Storing cannabutter or cannaoil is essential to ensure that it retains its potency and stays safe for consumption. After straining my homemade cannabutter, I opted to store it in the refrigerator. This step is important because when the butter is exposed to heat, it can quickly turn rancid. To further protect it from going bad, I also transferred a portion of the cannabutter into an airtight container and stored this in the freezer. In addition to storing my cannabutter safely, I also used a dark glass jar with a tight lid to store my cannaoil. This method worked well as it kept out any light which could cause oxidation and degrade the quality of the oil over time. By taking these extra steps, I was able to rest assured knowing that my cannabis-infused products would last me a long time!
Making the Brownie Batter
Making weed brownies can be a fun and exciting experience, especially when you make them from scratch. I recently tried my hand at making a batch of delicious cannabis edibles and the results were amazing! The process starts with gathering the ingredients together. This includes cooking spray, unsalted butter, baking sheet, all-purpose flour, regular butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, white sugar, teaspoon of salt, cup of water and an ounce of cannabis flower. Once I had all of the dry ingredients ready to go in one bowl and the wet ingredients ready to go in another bowl. I melted a cup of butter on low heat before adding it to the wet ingredients along with two teaspoons vanilla extract.
Next up was mixing both bowls together until everything was combined evenly. Then came pouring out the batter onto my pre-greased baking sheet before popping it into my preheated oven for around 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center came out clean. After that it was time to let my potent pot brownies cool down before slicing them into pieces and digging in! They tasted amazing and now this is definitely my favorite recipe when it comes to making delicious cannabis edibles like weed brownies!
Measuring Dry Ingredients
Measuring dry ingredients is an essential part of making weed brownies from scratch. When I first started making these tasty treats, I was a bit intimidated by the whole process but soon realized it’s not as difficult as it looks. To start off, I poured out the all-purpose flour into a bowl and then moved on to adding in the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and white sugar. After that, I added in a teaspoon of salt to give my brownies that extra bit of flavor. Finally, it was time to move onto mixing everything together until there were no lumps or clumps left behind. With that done, I knew my dry ingredients were ready for me to move onto the next step in making delicious weed brownies!
Mixing Wet Ingredients Together
Once I had the dry ingredients measured and ready, it was time to move onto the wet ingredients. For this part of the process, I began by melting some butter in a saucepan over medium heat and then added in some brown sugar. After that, I poured out a cup of water into the saucepan before stirring everything together with a wooden spoon. Once all the ingredients were fully incorporated into one another, I added in two teaspoons of vanilla extract and gave everything one last stir. With that done, my wet ingredients were ready to be combined with my dry ones!
Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
Once the wet ingredients were ready, it was time to combine them with my dry ingredients. I started by pouring the melted butter and brown sugar mixture into a large bowl and then added in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and granulated sugar. After giving everything a good mix together with a spoon or spatula, I gradually added in the cup of melted unsalted butter until everything was fully incorporated. Finally, I stirred in my teaspoon of vanilla extract for some extra flavor before setting aside my now-finished weed brownie batter. Now all that was left to do was spread it out onto a greased baking sheet and pop it into the oven – soon enough I’d have delicious cannabis edibles!
Flavoring the Batter (Optional)
I decided to take my weed brownies up a notch by adding in some extra flavoring. I opted for a teaspoon of vanilla extract to give the batter more depth and sweetness. After stirring it into the mix, I was pleased with how well the flavor had come through. My cannabis brownies were already looking and smelling delicious – all they needed now was a few minutes in the oven! I carefully poured the batter into a greased baking sheet and popped it in my preheated oven, then set my timer for 25 minutes before sitting back and waiting for my potent pot brownies to be ready.
Pre-Baking Processes
I found a recipe for cannabis brownies and gathered my ingredients. I melted 1 cup of unsalted butter and added 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, I combined 1½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a bowl. I slowly added the wet ingredients to create a thick batter. I preheated my oven to 350°F (175°C) and baked the brownies.
Greasing a Baking Sheet with Cooking Spray
I had prepped all of my ingredients and was ready to start baking, but first I had to make sure that my baking sheet was greased with cooking spray. I grabbed a can of cooking spray from the pantry and began spraying the baking sheet. Once it was fully covered in a light layer of oil, I spread it around using a paper towel until the entire surface of the baking sheet was lightly coated. I made sure to get into all of the corners and edges so that none of my brownies would stick when they were finished baking. That way, when they came out of the oven they would be easy to remove!
Pouring in the Batter and Spreading Evenly
I grabbed a large bowl and placed the wet ingredients into it, stirring them together until they were fully combined. After that, I added my dry ingredients and gave everything another good stir. Once all of the ingredients were combined, I poured the batter into my baking sheet and used a spatula to spread it out evenly. It was important that I get every corner of the baking sheet so that my brownies would cook evenly in the oven. As I spread out the batter, I could smell the delicious aroma of butter and sugar wafting through the air—it made me even more excited for when my weed brownies would be finished baking!
Baking Your Weed Brownies
I preheated the oven to 355°F and sprayed cooking spray onto the baking sheet. I then melted some unsalted butter on the stovetop, stirring in one cup of regular butter until it was fully melted. Once that was done, I added in a cup of brown sugar and a half-cup of granulated sugar, stirring everything together until it was perfectly combined. I then added in two teaspoons of vanilla extract before pouring it all into a large bowl.
Next, I added in two cups of all-purpose flour, one cup of cocoa powder, and one teaspoon of salt before giving everything another good stir. To finish off the batter, I poured in a cup of water and stirred again until it was smooth and creamy.
Once that was done, I grabbed an ounce of cannabis flower buds and ground them up as finely as possible before adding them to the batter. After stirring everything together once more, my weed brownie batter was ready to go!
Heating Oven to Desired Temperature Placing Tray in Oven and Setting Timer Checking Brownies for Doneness
I preheated the oven to 355°F, then placed a baking sheet in the oven and set the timer. After the time was up, I carefully removed the tray from the oven and tested my weed brownies for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it came out clean, that meant that they were finished baking. The smell coming from my kitchen was heavenly!
The next step was to let them cool completely before cutting them into individual servings. I could hardly wait to try one of these delicious pot brownies that I had just made! Once cooled, I cut each brownie into nine pieces and decided to start with one first. As soon as I took a bite, I knew that this would become my favorite recipe for weed brownies!
Cool Down Time Letting Brownies Cool on a Rack
After my weed brownies were finished baking, I knew the next step was to let them cool completely before cutting them into individual servings. I was so excited to try one of these delicious pot brownies that I had just made, but I also wanted to make sure that they cooled properly.
So, I carefully removed the tray from the oven and placed it on a cooling rack. This would help ensure that the bottom of the brownie stayed crisp and not soggy, lest all my hard work go to waste! As I waited for the brownies to cool down, my kitchen filled with an amazing aroma that had me salivating in anticipation.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, my weed brownies were cool enough for me to cut into individual pieces. Taking a bite out of one of these delicious treats was worth every second of waiting! The taste was out of this world and I knew then and there that this recipe for weed brownies would become a staple in my home.
Serving Your Delicious Weed Brownies Cutting into Desired Pieces Storing Leftovers (Optionally)
After finally cutting into my weed brownies and reveling in the amazing aroma that filled my kitchen, I knew it was time to serve them up. Using a sharp knife, I cut each of the brownies into desired pieces and presented them on a plate. Everyone’s eyes lit up at the sight of these delicious looking treats!
We all enjoyed our pot brownies immensely and there were still some left over after everyone was done. To make sure that they stayed fresh for later, I stored them in an airtight container for up to four days. If you’re not planning on eating your weed brownies within that time frame, then you can always put them in a freezer-safe bag or container and enjoy them whenever you’d like!
No matter how you choose to store your leftover pot brownies, the main takeaway is to enjoy every bite while they last. These delicious cannabis edibles are sure to bring joy and satisfaction with every bite!

Not only did they provide me with a tasty treat, but they also gave me a nice mellow high that kept me feeling relaxed and calm for hours. It was an amazing experience overall and I can’t wait to make more weed brownies in the future. If you’re looking for an easy way to get your cannabis fix, then this is definitely the recipe for you!
