Making Simple and Perfect CBD Brownies

Cannabinoids and brownies are an iconic combination, now this nostalgic duo have been upgraded in a modern twist, using non-psychoactive CBD! This perfect pair makes for a delicious edible experience; receiving all the benefits of cannabinoids without the couchlock and munchies. In this article we will show you how to make CBD brownies with ease!

Using cannabutter vs. cooking oil

When it comes to baking, ratios are everything. Each ingredient will modify the chemistry of the batter while baking, meaning some ingredients can add more chew, crunch, or moisture to your recipe.

Infusing butter with CBD is a popular way to mix CBD or other cannabinoids into baked goods, however it comes with some distinct textures and flavors. Depending on your personal taste, you may want to pass on the cannabutter technique and go for some classic cooking oil like canola or coconut.

CBD infused butter will bring a more cakey texture to your brownies, while coconut or vegetable oil will create a more fudgy brownie. Each impart their own flavor, so if you prefer fruity flavor a coconut oil might suit you better! All CBD oil can be frozen and stored longterm to maintain freshness.

What you’ll need to make CBD brownies

Baking CBD brownies is a classic way to enjoy the benefits of CBD alongside a timeless sweet treat! Gather a few items in your kitchen and make sure you have the following supplies and ingredients:

Supplies

Kitchen Scale / Balance
Mixing Bowl
Square Baking Pan
Silicone Spatula or Mixing Utensils
Parchment Paper (lining the pan)
Optional: Double boiler for oil and CBD mixture

Ingredients

CBD isolate or extract (measured to desired dose per serving)
140g (10 Tbl) CBD infused oil (coconut, butter, or vegetable)
250g (1 ¼ cup) Sugar
65g (¾ cup) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1.4g (¼ tsp) Salt
1.4g (½ tsp) Vanilla extract
2 Large eggs (cold)
65g (½ cup) All-purpose flour
75g (⅔ cup) Toasted walnut, pecans (optional)

Baking with CBD

Prepare baking pan and preheat oven to 325 Degrees F

Melt and mix your CBD and oil blend

This can be done with a double boiler on the stove if melting CBD into butter, however stirring CBD into warmed oil or melted butter should fully dissolve on its own.

Mix that batter up

While your oven is heating, mix together all your wet ingredients and dry ingredients separately. Slowly stir your dry ingredients into the batter until the mixture is silky and glossy. Add any extra ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit at the end.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, let them completely cool inside the pan

Cut the brownies

Once fully cooled down, cut the brownies into individual doses based on the potency of each brownie you prefer. This can yield anywhere from 16-36 pieces.

Storing your Brownies

Once cut and finished, brownies can be kept for a while in your fridge or freezer!
