Are you looking for an easy yet delicious way to enjoy cannabis? Look no further than these simple Weed Brownies. This recipe is perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to avoid the complexities often associated with homemade edibles. Here's a straightforward guide to making your own cannabis-infused brownies at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cannabutter (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 cup cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate chips, nuts, or other mix-ins
Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Melt the Cannabutter: In a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler, gently melt your cannabutter. Ensure it’s fully liquid but not hot; you want to preserve the cannabinoids. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and melted cannabutter. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If using, fold in any additional ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake, as this can affect the potency and texture.
- Cool Down: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing them. This step is crucial to ensure they set properly.
Dosage Information:
To calculate the dosage, you need to know the THC/CBD content in your cannabutter:
- Calculate Total Edibles: If your cannabutter has 100 mg of THC, and you are making a full pan of brownies, divide the total THC by the number of servings. For an 8x8 pan, which typically makes about 9 servings, each serving would have approximately 11 mg of THC.
- Start Low, Go Slow: For beginners or those with low tolerance, start with a small piece and wait at least an hour to gauge the effects before consuming more.
🌿 Note: Dosage can be tricky with edibles. Always begin with less and increase gradually over time to find your comfort zone.
Tips for Success:
- Quality Ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients for the best results.
- Uniform Heat Distribution: Ensure the cannabutter is uniformly incorporated into the batter for consistent potency throughout your brownies.
- Avoid Overbaking: Brownies continue to cook after being removed from the oven due to residual heat.
The journey to making your own cannabis edibles might seem daunting, but with these easy-to-follow steps, you can enjoy homemade weed brownies that not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also provide a potent, controlled dose of cannabis. These brownies are ideal for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts, offering flexibility in dosage and the satisfaction of creating your own treats.
Can I use other forms of cannabis infusion?
+
Yes, you can substitute cannabutter with cannabis oil, tincture, or even finely ground kief. Remember to adjust for potency and flavor differences.
How do I store these brownies?
+
Store your brownies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will last for several days at room temperature or can be refrigerated for a longer shelf life.
What should I do if my brownies are too strong?
+
If your brownies turn out too potent, you can dilute the effects by making more batter without cannabutter and mixing them in, or simply eat less per serving.
