Cannabis Brownies: A Treat for Delicate Tastes
Cannabis brownies have claimed their place in the culinary world, and for good reason! These delicious brownies are perfect not only for sweet tooths but also offer a unique way to relax and unwind. The secret? Cannabutter, the foundation of this recipe. By preparing butter with cannabis, you give these brownies a special twist that combines the best of chocolate and cannabis. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this delightful treat yourself.
The Recipe: Cannabis Brownies
Ingredients (for about 10 brownies)
- 100 grams of cannabutter (butter made with cannabis)
- 200 grams of dark chocolate
- 150 grams of sugar
- 100 grams of flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preparation: Making Cannabutter
Before you start the brownies, you need to prepare the cannabutter. This can be done by decarboxylating a quantity of cannabis (about 5-10 grams for mild effects) in the oven (30-40 minutes at 110°C) and then mixing it with melted butter. After letting it simmer for a few hours (for example, in a slow cooker or bain-marie), you’ll have a potent cannabutter ready to use in your recipes.
Directions: Baking the Brownies
- Melt the chocolate and cannabutter
Set a pan over low heat and melt the chocolate together with the cannabutter. Stir the mixture regularly to combine well and prevent burning. Once you have a smooth chocolate mixture, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly. - Mix the sugar and eggs
Take a large bowl and add the sugar and eggs. Beat the mixture for about two minutes until you get a light yellow consistency. This will give the brownies a soft, gooey texture. - Combine the chocolate mixture with the egg mix
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mix and stir well. The aroma will already start spreading, giving you the first taste of how delicious these brownies will be. - Add flour and vanilla extract
Sift the flour over the mixture to prevent lumps. Gently fold the batter with a spatula and add the vanilla extract, which adds an extra flavor dimension and enhances the overall taste. - Pour the batter into a baking dish
Take a baking dish and grease it well with butter or use baking paper so the brownies will release easily later. Pour the batter into the dish and smooth it out. - Time to bake!
Place the dish in a preheated oven at 175°C. Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes until they have a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Use a toothpick to test; if it comes out clean, the brownies are done. Prefer a softer brownie? Take them out a bit earlier. - Cool and enjoy
Allow the brownies to cool thoroughly before slicing so they can be cut nicely. Now all that’s left to do is enjoy!

When enjoying cannabis brownies, it’s important to be mindful of the dosage. Always start with a small piece, wait an hour or two, and see how strong the effect is. And be warned: the delicious aroma and flavor may tempt you to have another piece, but remember to enjoy in moderation.
