Recipe tips:

  • If you are using pre-made cannabutter, you need to heat it up to melt the butter. Make sure your cannabutter is hot, and the eggs aren’t cold, so that the sugar can be completely dissolved. If your cannabutter isn’t hot enough, your wet ingredient mixture will end up very thick. After adding the dry ingredients your batter will be too hard to stir. If this happens, you can place your mixing bowl in a hot water bath to help melt the cannabutter, which will in turn soften the brownie batter.
  • When lining a square cake pan with parchment paper, it helps to cover the bottom and 2 opposite sides and leave extra paper over the sides so that you can use the paper to lift out the brownie after baking. Grease the other 2 sides of the pan that are not covered by parchment paper to prevent the brownie from sticking to the pan.

Storing your weed brownies:
For any weed brownies you don’t consume within a few days, you can wrap them up in plastic wraps first before packing away in a container. This will help prevent the brownies from losing their moisture. You can store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days or in the fridge for 2 weeks. For longer term storage, you can keep them in the freezer for 3 months. It’s a good idea to freeze weed brownies individually. This way you can defrost the desired amount a couple hours before you are ready to eat them.
