There are various ways to reap the benefits of marijuana and baking is certainly an ideal alternative for many. But baked marijuana goodies don’t have to be boring. That’s why we bring you the Top 3 Brownie Recipes that are guaranteed to produce delicious, melt-in-your-mouth brownies in no time. So put on your cooking aprons and get ready for some baking a la cannabis!
Before we start baking, however, you will need to make pot butter. Pot brownies contain THC by virtue of the butter that is used in their making. Since THC is fat-soluble and, well, butter contains a lot of fat, butter is the ideal candidate to absorb and retain large amounts of THC. Thus, when making pot butter, the goal is to extract the THC from the weed and have it absorbed by the butter. As you’ll see, there’s no need to keep the actual pot leaves.
Making Quick & Easy Pot Butter
Ingredients
Two saucepans
Strainer
1/8 oz. weed (The weed doesn’t have to be ground. You will later be straining the weed, anyways.)
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)
Directions
- Melt the butter on low heat in the saucepan.
- Once the butter has melted, add the weed.
- Let the butter simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. – This is the step when
the THC is extracted from the weed and absorbed by the butter.
- Strain the pot butter into the second saucepan.
- Refrigerate pot butter until semi-solid.

DO NOT use this pot butter recipe unless you and ounce or more to commit it. 1/8 is way too light and will give you no buzz, you’ll get more of a sugar high on the 2 cups in the brownie mix! The brownies are good and tasty, but no real high quality…its all about quantity with pot butter. DO NOT waste good smoking weed, get enough to do it right.
Vodka, pot brownies, 40 hour eork weeks, my kids and wife, what up wit it man thats my life
Recipe # 3
Ingredients list does not include pot butter at all?
4 tbsp won’t do much….
I have done the grandma brownie yesterday with 3g of pot (even a bit less than 1/8oz), but it was a great, strong strain and it worked wonderfully for 4 people.
The only thing – I used one cup of sugar instead of two and it was VERY sweet, so I do not imagine adding two cups of sugar into it, really.
Anyway, it was delicious and very potent, thank you for the great recipe!
I dont bake can you use a pre-mix like betty crocker brownies? Does the butter have to be chilled?
if i want to use the pain old box off the shelf brownie mix, how much butter do supplement for the oil? Anyone know that one?
oh wow, i just noticed how long its been since anyone used this forum, looks like my question won’t be answered here anytime soon LOL-
Answered my own question so here’s the answer for all to have. Use this tech to make pot oil for off shelf brands of brownie mix n all will be good.
*Extracting THC in cooking oil*
For this process all you need in addition to a 1/2-OZ or a whole OZ of weed is the cooking oil – either vegetable or canola oil, both are fine.
Step 1: Put the weed in a pan, or pot – and place on the stove on a low flame
Step 2: Pour enough oil over the weed to ALMOST cover it. Remember, the less oil, the more potent it will be. I recommend looking at the brownie mix box and seeing how much oil it calls for. Pour that amount in, if it is not enough add a bit more until you feel comfortable with it. Or, if the amount of oil called for on the brownie recipe looks like too much, add a little oil at a time until weed is covered,then simply add the remaining oil the mix calls for to the brownie mix when blending all together later on.
Step 3: Let it sit on a low flame for as long as possible, and stir for a couple of minutes every half hour. The longer you can get this to go the better. Anywhere up to 12 hours is fine, but in my case I was only able to do this for about 2 or 3 hours. Still works fine, just be sure you don’t have heat up high or you’ll just end up frying away all your weed. Slow n steady wills the race with this tech.
Step 4: Make sure the flame is not too high! If the weed is picking up a very distinct brown color the flame is too high! The weed will obtain a brownish tint; however, too brown is no good, it must still be recognizable as a green plant at all times.
Step 5: When you are done cooking, set up a large bowl and either a colander, cheese cloth, or even a coffee filter.
Step 6: Dump the weed into the colander, cheese cloth, or coffee filter – allowing all the oil to go into the large bowl.
Step 7: Press the weed, getting as much oil out as possible.
Step 8: Save your oil, and discard the weed, because it no longer has THC in it. It will have all infused into the oil at that point, which was the purpose of this whole process.
Lastly, simply add the oil to brownie mix and bake away. After 20-30mins you’ll have some really potent brownies that should rock anyone who enjoys one with you. ;p your welcome all~
Up date… a half OZ should be plenty for one off the shelf brownie mix.
