Weed brownie recipes

Unless your Grandma was more into jam bands than making jam, you’ve probably never tasted pot brownies that could even compare to her delicious, fudgy chocolate-swirl brownies. Until now. The recipe comes from Denver’s Sweet Grass Kitchen, one of Colorado’s largest distributors of cannabis-infused edibles, and winner of this year’s People’s Choice for “Best Edible Products” at the Cannabis Business Awards.

Lauren Finesilver, executive chef at Sweet Grass, tweaked her Grandmother’s recipe slightly by adding cannabutter, but the rest remains true to the original. The secret to these brownies’ rich, fudgy consistency is dark chocolate made with 60-70% cacao. “Cocoa powder doesn’t have enough chocolate flavor to balance out the cannabis,” she says. Finesilver has tried her fair share of pot-brownie recipes, including her Dad’s from the ‘70s. “His recipe included rum-soaked raisins and a ‘lid’ of pot with seeds, stems, and everything. They’re the kind of brownies that knock you out for days.”

These brownies won’t do that, but one or two servings (depending on your tolerance) will give you a nice, euphoric feeling after about an hour or two. “It’s the edible equivalent of smoking a joint,” says Finesilver. And if you do get the munchies, please, please don’t eat more brownies. Just nosh on some chimichachos, pizza rolls, or a tater tot grilled cheese instead. 

This recipe uses cake mix instead of brownie mix, which makes it a little lighter. Perfect for those who don’t want “fudge-like” brownies, but still want something simple to make! I personally prefer a lighter brownie to a fudge-like brownie, and I’ve been happy with this pot brownie recipe for that purpose!

Magic weed brownie recipe

Ingredients:

• Sugar – 1 cup
• Cocoa powder – ¾ cups
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
• A pinch of salt
• Water – 2 tablespoons
• Cannabis butter – 1 stick (around 4 oz, 120 grams)
• Eggs – 2 large eggs
• Flour – a bit over a ⅓ cup
• Chocolate topping (or some other topping)

Directions:

1. Make cannabis butter (I use the Magical Butter machine and this Butter Tray for this, or follow these instructions on how to make DIY cannabutter).
2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).
3. Grease your brownie pan with regular butter. We suggest you use a stainless steel pan since they will prevent your brownies from sticking.
4. Add sugar, cocoa, vanilla, salt, water and cannabis butter to the mixing bowl. Whisk to blend all the ingredients together.
5. Add eggs, one at a time, beating them as hard as you can with a whisk until the mixture is glossy.
6. Add flour to the bowl and whisk the entire mixture for about 3 minutes.
7. Bake the mix for about 20-30 minutes. Just like with any other brownies, you can find out whether they are done by poking them with a toothpick inserted until it comes out clean.

Use a spatula to cut and move the brownies to a metal wire rack in order for them to cool down.

Be sure to add toppings such as chocolate chips or ice cream.

Mario Batali’s Double-Chocolate Pot Brownies

In honor of those Broncos, their crazy mile-high city, and their weed-friendly state, I’m offering a rocky mountain high option. (I’m actually making regular brownies but if you happen to be in Colorado or any other marijuana-friendly state, go for the add-in marked “Optional” below.)

Note: All of the expected disclaimers apply. Make sure you purchase from a trusted dispensary. And if you do “indulge,” make sure you’re not driving and that you’re hanging with cool people. Basically, don’t do anything stupid.

Ingredients:

• ¹/₂ cup butter, cut into 4 equal pieces
• 4 grams high quality marijuana, cleaned and ground (optional)
• ¹/₂ cup Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¹/₂ cup granulated sugar
• 8 ounces milk-chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• 2 extra-large eggs
• ³/₄ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325° F. Grease an 8-by 8-inch baking pan.
2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, the marijuana (if using), and cocoa powder, stirring continuously until the butter is just melted. Use a rubber spatula to transfer the cocoa mixture to a large mixing bowl.
3. Let the cocoa mixture cool for 2 minutes. Add the sugar, chocolate chips, and vanilla and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Add the eggs 1 at a time, stirring so that each is well combined. Add the flour and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake on the center tack for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with tiny crumbs.
5. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, cut into 9 squares, and serve. Or, store for up to 2 days in a tightly-sealed plastic container.

If you’ve been considering what edibles to tackle baking next, and wanted something a little more traditional, yet still equally as original, then these delicious pot brownie recipes are for you.

Pot brownies are convenient to create and do not require a lot of time, especially if you already have some cannabutter on hand.
