Ingredients

1/2 cup cannabutter (hot and melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃).
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cannabutter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Add the flour, cacao powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir everything together until you have a thick, even batter.
Step 4: Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides with oil. Pour the brownie batter into the pan, then level and smooth the surface. If you like, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Once baked, remove the brownies from the pan onto a cutting board. Cut the slab into 25 equal pieces (5 by 5) and serve.

Tips & Variations

Use room temperature eggs to help the batter mix more evenly and create a better texture.
For a nuttier twist, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before baking.
Adjust the amount of cannabutter based on your preferred potency and tolerance levels.
Substitute cacao powder with good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder if cacao is unavailable.
To enhance fudginess, slightly underbake the brownies by a couple of minutes, keeping the center moist.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in a microwave or let them come to room temperature before enjoying to preserve texture and flavor.

How to Serve

FAQs

How strong will these brownies be?

The potency depends on the strength and amount of the cannabutter used. Start with a small piece to gauge the effects, especially if you are new to cannabis edibles.

Can I use regular butter instead of cannabutter?

Yes, but your brownies will not have any cannabis effects. To infuse cannabis yourself, you will need to make cannabutter separately before using it in this recipe.
