Weed brownies are a classic choice, but there are numerous ways to infuse cannabis into your favorite dishes and treats.

How to prepare pot brownies?

Let’s begin by discussing the various methods of infusing cannabis into a dish like brownies.

The simplest approach involves using either cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil. Once you’ve prepared your cannabis-infused oil or butter, it can be incorporated into any recipe requiring fat. Below, we’ll provide instructions for making cannabutter.

Alternatively, you can opt for cannabis concentrates. Just mix your preferred dose into the butter or oil as per the recipe. Remember to calculate the appropriate dosage accurately.

Contemplating adding weed flowers directly into your brownie mix?

While feasible, it might not yield the most palatable results. However, if you choose this method, decarboxylating the cannabis flower beforehand is essential. Decarboxylation activates the cannabinoids, ensuring you experience the full effects.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup cannabutter (or coconut oil)
• 1 cup white sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

• 2 tbsp chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp crushed walnuts
• ⅛ tsp flaked sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease the baking pan and set it aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another medium bowl, cream together the cannabutter (or coconut oil) with the white sugar and brown sugar.
4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture of sugar and butter. Beat on medium speed for about one minute.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients. Beat on low speed until everything is thoroughly mixed.
6. Pour into Baking Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like chocolate chips, crushed walnuts, or flaked sea salt on top before baking.
7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Mastering the art of infusing fats opens up a world of cannabis-infused culinary delights for your favorite recipes.

While cannabutter reigns as a top choice, you can also infuse coconut oil or olive oil for a versatile cannabis cooking experience.

Cannabutter Ingredients:

• 1 cup of butter (unsalted and not margarine)
• 7–10 grams of ground cannabis, decarboxylated

How to Decarboxylate Cannabis?

Decarboxylation is the crucial initial step in creating cannabis-infused edibles.

• Preheat the oven to 245°F.

• Grind the decarboxylated cannabis before use.

How to Make Cannabutter — Stove Top?

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

How to Make Cannabutter — Slow Cooker:

1. Set your slow cooker to low and fill it with enough water to submerge your mason jars, creating a water bath. Consider placing a clean towel at the bottom to prevent the jars from moving or cracking.
2. Divide the butter and decarboxylated cannabis evenly into two jars, ensuring the lids are secure. Submerge the jars in the water bath.
