The Ultimate Guide to the Best Easy Baked Pot Brownies

Making Pot Brownies is an all-time favorite activity, and there are several recipes out there that may leave you with a bitter weed taste that takes over the whole “goody” taste and this tends to be a slight bummer for some. In this guide, we’ll go for fudge tasty chocolatey brownies with great cannabis effects.

The Basics and Dont’s of Making Pot Brownies

First, a major and common mistake for novice cannabis cookers is they blend the marijuana directly with the butter or oil without decarboxylating it first. This is important since its what really gives power to your buds when using them in edibles.

Keep in mind the amount of cannabis that will be used in relation to the butter and oil as this does make a great difference in the experience. 

If you’re making your own pot brownie recipe, note that the recommended amount of cannabis in relation to butter would be 3.5 grams per stick (112 grams).

The science behind pot brownies is really uncomplicated, the psychoactive traits of marijuana are found in THC and CBD. These blend easily with lipids and more effectively so when it’s done at low temperatures.

How to Decarboxylate and make Cannabis Infused Butter

In case you’re not familiar with the “decarb” process, simply grind up to 6 grams (maximum advised amount for brownies) spread them on a baking sheet, set your oven up to a low temperature 180°C/350°F for up to 50 minutes. Next just blend the grinned weed with the melted butter or oil on a stove at a low temperature for the same time and let it sit for 6 hours in order to get a highly efficient weed-infused base ingredient.

Cannabutter is just as efficient as oil, however, it is perhaps more versatile for sauces and baked meals.

• 6 grams of marijuana per 1 lb of butter.

• Heat the butter in a medium sauce pan setting a medium temperature not greater than 200°F|93°C.
• When melted, add the decarboxylated bud and cook for 45 minutes, once the timer goes off let it sit for 10 minutes.
• When straining the melted butter, press carefully to make sure you get the most out of your buds.

Cannabis infused oil

• 6 grams of marijuana per 2 cups of oil should provide a balanced and enjoyable effect.

• Heat 2 cups of oil in medium temperature, note that it shouldn’t go over 200°F|93°C.
• Add the decarboxylated bud and cook for 45 minutes, once the timer goes off let it sit for 10 minutes.
• Strain the oil and press with a wooden spoon to make sure you get the most of the oil extract.
