Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter

• 1 g quality cannabis flower

• ⅓ cup (30 g) natural cocoa powder

• Prepared cannabutter (from above)

• ½ cup (4 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 1 tbsp molasses

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ tsp kosher salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1¼ cups (250 g) granulated sugar

• 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour

• ½ cup (57 g) chopped toasted nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the cannabutter using the butter and cannabis listed. Strain and let cool slightly.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper in both directions.

3. In a double boiler (or microwave in short bursts), melt the cannabutter and chocolate together. Remove from heat and stir in molasses, vanilla, and salt.

4. In a medium bowl, beat eggs on low speed until frothy (about 1 minute). Slowly add sugar while mixing, then increase to medium speed and beat until thick and pale (2–3 minutes).

5. Whisk together flour and cocoa powder. Stir into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

6. Gently fold the egg mixture into the batter. Add nuts if using. Spread evenly into the pan.

7. Bake for 25 minutes, until a glossy, cracked top forms. A toothpick inserted near the corner should have a few moist crumbs.

8. Cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing into 16 brownies. Optional: For a chewier crust and gooey center, plunge the metal pan into cold water immediately after baking.

Can I make them with less THC?

Yes, simply replace some of the cannabutter with regular butter to lower the potency.

How do I make non-weed brownies with this recipe?

Replace the cannabutter with the same amount of regular unsalted butter.

What type of chocolate is best?

Use dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao for balance and richness.

Yes, but it adds moisture and a caramel undertone that complements the chocolate.

How do I know when they’re done baking?

The top should be glossy and starting to crack, with a toothpick from the corner showing a few moist crumbs.
