Why This Pot Brownie Recipe Works So Well
The magic of this pot brownie recipe lies in the way the ingredients are layered and treated. I use melted dark chocolate for a rich depth of flavor, paired with cannabutter that’s been gently infused to preserve its potency and taste. This combination yields a fudgy center with a glossy, crackly top, exactly what a brownie should be.
The method I’ve developed is also highly forgiving. Whether you want to bake in a glass pan or a metal tray, or prefer mixing by hand rather than using a stand mixer, this recipe can accommodate it all. You don’t need to be a pro baker, just follow a few important steps and you’re golden.
Another major plus? It’s easy to customize. Gluten-free? Swap the flour. Vegan? Try coconut oil-based cannabutter and flax eggs. Sugar conscious? Reduce the sweetener or sub in coconut sugar for a richer, caramel-like base.
For those new to cannabis edibles, dosage is everything. This pot brownie recipe includes dosage tips to help you calculate THC content, depending on your cannabutter’s strength, so you always enjoy responsibly.

Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter (or infused butter)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- Infused butter must be prepared beforehand, ensuring even distribution of flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

Pro Tips for a Next-Level Pot Brownie Experience
- Measure Accurately: Proper measurements ensure the perfect balance between gooey and cakey textures.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense brownies. Stir just until combined.
- Cool Before Cutting: Allow the brownies to cool fully for cleaner slices and better texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: Sprinkle sea salt, drizzle caramel, or add marshmallows for a personalized touch.
- Monitor Baking Time: Check for doneness early, as ovens vary. Brownies continue to set after being removed from the oven.
Let’s Talk Brownie Variants: So Many Ways to Bake Your Bliss
1. CBD Pot Brownie Recipe
For those who want relaxation without the psychoactive high, swap THC-rich cannabutter with CBD-infused butter or oil. This version is perfect for easing stress or aiding sleep while keeping your head clear.
2. Vegan Pot Brownie Recipe
No eggs? No problem. Use flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg) and dairy-free cannabutter made with coconut oil. Replace milk chocolate with dark vegan chocolate for a decadent cruelty-free delight.
3. Low-Dose Pot Brownie Recipe
Ideal for first-timers or those who like to microdose, this variant uses diluted cannabutter (50% regular butter) to control THC per serving. You get all the taste with a gentler effect.
4. Gluten-Free Pot Brownie Recipe
Substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend. The result is slightly nuttier in flavor and extra moist, especially great for those with gluten sensitivity.
