Introduction

Classic weed brownies offer a rich, chocolaty treat enhanced with cannabutter for a relaxing twist. Perfect for sharing, these brownies are easy to bake and yield a dense, fudgy texture that satisfies any chocolate lover.

Each brownie has a rough, slightly crumbly top texture with a few glossy chocolate chips scattered on top, adding shine and contrast. The brownies look thick and dense, with a deep dark brown color. Small pieces of greenish dried herbs surround the brownies, placed sporadically on the plate edges. The whole scene is set on a white marbled textured surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 the oven to 350℉.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted cannabutter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the flour, cacao powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir everything together until a thick batter forms.
Step 4: Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with oil. Pour the batter into the pan, then level and smooth the surface. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra texture and flavor.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Once done, remove the brownie from the pan onto a cutting board. Cut into 25 equal pieces (5×5) before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use good-quality cacao powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
Adjust the amount of chocolate chips or omit them based on your preference.
Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
For a nuttier twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking.
Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help create a smooth batter and tender brownies.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil; thaw at room temperature before serving. Reheat briefly in the microwave to enjoy a warm brownie.

FAQs

Can I use regular butter instead of cannabutter?

Yes, but the brownies won’t have the cannabis effects. Use regular butter if you want a classic batch without the added potency.

How strong are these brownies?

The potency depends on the strength of your cannabutter and the amount used. Always start with a small piece and wait at least an hour to gauge the effects before consuming more.

Ingredients

Scale

Main 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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350℉ to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking your brownies evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the hot, melted cannabutter, granulated sugar, room temperature eggs, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, cacao powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula or spoon until a thick and uniform batter forms without streaks of flour.
Prepare Baking Pan: Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal. Lightly grease the sides of the pan with oil to prevent sticking.
Pour and Smooth Batter: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to level and smooth out the surface evenly. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top to add extra chocolatey bursts.
Bake Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The brownies should be set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center for a fudgy texture.
Cool and Cut: Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the slab into 25 equal pieces (5×5) for serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs to help create a smooth batter.
Do not overbake to maintain fudginess; check for a slight wobble in the center.
If you prefer a nutty texture, consider adding chopped nuts with the chocolate chips.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Be aware of the potency of your cannabutter and consume responsibly.
