Make Dank Pot Brownies: All Recipes Call for Cannabutter
As with all marijuana goodies, there needs to be a source of the good green stuff. For many baked goods, including these soon-to-be-mentioned pot brownie recipes, cannabutter is necessary to get a potent high.
Those who often cook with cannabis might already have some ready-made cannabutter laying around, but if you don’t have some on hand, you can make it from the comfort of your own home following our simple and efficient recipe guide here.
Weed Brownies Recipe 1: The Bud-Filled “Blondie”
Although not technically a brownie, blondies are the lighter cousin of the brownie, and they taste like rich caramel and brown sugar, with a crispy thin-layered coating of crunch. Add whatever you want into your blondie mix, whether it be booze, nuts, dried fruits, chocolates or even more weed. For now, our simple blondies recipe is quick and even those with little baking experience can bake a successful batch of these bud-filled “blondies”.
Serving: about 16 pieces, Cook Time: 35 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 fluid ounce of cannabutter (about 2 tablespoons)
- 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of dark brown sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt
- 1 cup of all-purpose or whole wheat flour
- 1 large, cold egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional:
- ½ cup of chocolate chips
- ¼ cup favorite liquor
- ½ cup toasted nuts
- ½ cup dried fruits or shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon of a favorite flavoring extract (raspberry, mint, chocolate, almond, coconut, rum, etc.)
The Process:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a medium-sized, deep baking pan (the ones made for cakes, meatloaves, brownies, etc.), by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the cannabis butter, unsalted butter, and brown sugar until it is a smooth, even consistency. After, add in the vanilla extract and the egg and blend once again. Lastly, add in the flour and any of the additional ingredients that you might desire. Beat the batter with a whisk or batter stick for a few minutes until the mix is thick and even.
- Once the batter is ready, pour it into the parchment lined baking dish and place it into the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top layer is crispy. You can test to see if the blondies are ready by poking in a toothpick. Once it comes out clean, the mix is ready for cooling.
- Cool the blondies for 5 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your preference. Cut the tray into 16 pieces, eat and enjoy.
Recipe 2 for Pot Brownies: The Triple Threat Chocolate Pot Brownie
A richer, more chocolatey twist on the traditional brownie, this goodie will not only get you high, but it also tastes amazing and will literally melt in your mouth.
Serving: about 18 pieces, Cook Time: 45 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
- 3 sticks of unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons of cannabis butter
- 1 ¾ cups of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 6 cold eggs
- 1 ½ cups of whole wheat or all-purpose baking flour
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- 12 ounces of bittersweet chocolate
- ⅛ cup of cocoa powder, unsweetened
- ½ cup of preferred chocolate chips
Optional:
- ½ cup of macadamia nuts
The Process:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized saucepan on low heat, melt the bittersweet chocolate, cannabutter, and butter together, stirring frequently as to not burn the mix. Once everything is more of a liquid consistency, remove it from the flame and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs, beating them with a whisk thoroughly. Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled a little, also add it into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking yet again until the consistency is even.
- Fold in the salt, cocoa powder, and flour, as well as your chocolate chips, blending until even. Prepare a baking tin or glass container and line it with parchment paper. Fold the brownie mixture into the dish and place it in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until you can pass the toothpick test and the baked goods are cooked evenly through.
- Cut the brownies into 18 squares and allow them to cool, or eat them while they’re still warm, whatever is preferred and desired.

Serving: 24-30 bites, Cook Time: 25 minutes.
What You’ll Need:
- ¼ cup of cannabutter (either made from coconut or regular butter)
- ¼ cup of melted coconut oil
- 1 cup of almond flour
- ½ cup of cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon of liquid stevia
- ½ cup of honey
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
The Process:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The best option for this recipe is to use a mini muffin pan. If you happen to have one, use a little coconut oil to grease each circle on the pan so that the deserts won’t stick while baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sea salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, stevia, coconut oil, and cannabutter. Add this blend into the larger, dry ingredients bowl. Blend everything together. Finally, whisk in the honey and portion the batter evenly into the mini muffin tray.
- Place the filled tray in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Test if they are done cooking by trying to twist the brownies out. They should be removed easily. If they seem to be sticking, then they are not ready and should be baked a little longer. Once ready, set them aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Top them with a little whipped cream, add them to ice cream or simply eat them plain and enjoy.
