What Do Weed Brownies Taste Like?
A well-made weed brownie should taste just like a regular brownie—decadent, chocolatey, and absolutely irresistible. The key to avoiding a strong herbal flavor is using properly infused cannabutter or cannabis oil and balancing it with high-quality chocolate and vanilla extract.
If done right, you won’t even notice the cannabis—just a hint of an earthy undertone beneath layers of deep, fudgy goodness!
Benefits of Weed Brownies
Why choose edibles over smoking? Here are a few reasons:
✅ Longer-lasting effects – Unlike smoking, which fades quickly, edibles provide a slow, steady high that can last for hours.
✅ Discreet and smoke-free – No need to worry about smell or smoke—just enjoy a delicious treat!
✅ Better for your lungs – No inhalation, no irritation.
✅ Precise dosing – You can control how much cannabis you’re consuming per brownie.
Ingredients for Weed Brownies
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) cannabutter (or cannabis-infused coconut oil)
- ½ cup regular unsalted butter (for balance)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar (for chewiness)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional but recommended!)
Tools You’ll Need:
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or electric mixer
- 8×8-inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Saucepan (if making cannabutter from scratch)
How to Make Weed Brownies
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt both the cannabutter and regular butter together. Stir until fully combined, then remove from heat. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix!
Step 5: Stir in the Chocolate Chips
For extra fudgy brownies, fold in chocolate chips at this stage.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 7: Cool and Slice
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps them set properly!
How to Dose Your Weed Brownies
Dosing is the most important part of making cannabis brownies. Here’s what you need to know:
- Start Low, Go Slow: If you’re new to edibles, start with 5-10mg THC per brownie and wait at least 2 hours before eating more.
- Know Your Cannabutter Potency: If your butter contains 100mg THC per ½ cup, and you use ½ cup in this recipe, that’s 100mg THC in the entire batch. Divide by 12 brownies, and each one will have about 8mg THC.
- Test a Small Piece First: Edibles affect everyone differently, so always start with a small portion before eating a whole brownie.
What to Serve with Weed Brownies
Pair your pot brownies with:
🍦 Vanilla ice cream – The ultimate indulgence!
☕ Coffee or tea – Enhances the relaxing effects.
🍫 Chocolate drizzle – Because more chocolate is always better.
🍓 Fresh berries – A tart contrast to the rich brownies.
Tips for the Best Weed Brownies
✔ Don’t Overheat the Butter – Keep the heat low when melting to preserve THC potency.
✔ Use Quality Chocolate – Better ingredients = better brownies.
✔ Chill Before Cutting – For clean slices, refrigerate for 1 hour before cutting.
✔ Experiment with Add-ins – Nuts, caramel, or even peanut butter can take these to the next level!

- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months.
