Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Equipment Needed
- 8×8 inch baking pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. This little trick ensures your brownies don’t stick and come out in perfect squares.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the cannabis-infused coconut oil and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy. Remember, the key to fudgy brownies is not overmixing once the flour is added.
Combine Dry Ingredients
Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl. This step is crucial for eliminating lumps and ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Overbaking will lead to dry brownies, so keep an eye on them!
Cool and Cut
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Patience here pays off with cleaner cuts and better texture.
Tips and Tricks
For those looking to elevate their pot brownie game, consider these pro tips. First, decarboxylate your cannabis before infusing it into the oil to activate the THC fully. Second, use a high-fat oil like coconut for maximum cannabinoid absorption. Lastly, store your brownies in an airtight container in the fridge to preserve freshness and potency. Remember, the effects can take up to two hours to kick in, so start with a small piece and wait.
Recipe Variations
- Nutty Delight: Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for a crunchy texture.
- Minty Fresh: Stir in 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract for a refreshing twist.
- Double Chocolate: Mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for an extra indulgent treat.
- Spiced Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and cinnamon for a spicy kick that complements the chocolate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How strong are these brownies?
The potency depends on the strength of your cannabis oil. A good rule of thumb is to start with a small piece (about 1 square inch) and wait at least two hours before considering more. Remember, you can always eat more, but you can’t eat less!
Can I use another type of oil?
Yes, but coconut oil is preferred due to its high-fat content, which is ideal for THC absorption. If you must substitute, opt for another high-fat oil like butter or avocado oil.
How should I store these brownies?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Just be sure to label them clearly to avoid any accidental consumption.
