The Ultimate Hash Brownie Recipe for a Deliciously Indulgent Treat
Introduction to Hash Brownies
Hash brownies, aka weed brownies or pot brownies are a hugely popular way of enjoying both cannabis and CBD in a tasty and delightful way. The key twist on a traditional brownie includes hash, CBD hash, or cannabis concentrate, adding a powerful kick.
CBD hash brownies are non-psychoactive, but if you choose to make this recipe with the THC variety of cannabis flower or cannabis oil, do be careful.
The effects are likely to sneak up on you and for the less experienced cannabis user, it can seem intense in larger quantities. However a low concentration hash brownie can be a great, chocalatey and tasty way for all to enjoy the benefits of the cannabis plant.
Preperation of these brownies takes a lot of care. The quality of your final result when cooking any cannabis recipe comes down to the processes and precision used. Follow this step by step guide to make sure you get your homemade edibles right.

Firstly make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Some things are optional, and in terms of brownie flavour, you can get creative.
Add fruits, chocolate chips and salt to your batter to make it more exciting. However the ingredients listed below are my suggestions for the best way to make delicious weed brownies.

1 tbsp Vanilla extract to add flavour
-
1 tbsp Baking powder
-
200g sugar
-
50g Cocoa Powder

The Perfect Recipe
Step by step Recipe
Preheat your oven to 170C. Make sure that your oven temperature does not exceed this.
Cream together your eggs, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy in a medium bowl.
Sieve the rest of your dry ingredients (not including your cannabis) into a bowl and keep seperately. If you are using chopped walnuts you can also add them here.
Slowly melt your dark chocolate and butter in a double boiler on a low heat. Using a medium saucepan. Stir the mix regularly. Make sure that your melted chocolate and butter temperature has reduced right down. We want it to cool completely and slowly add in your ground flower or hash. Make sure you consider how much you put in to make sure you dose correctly.
Mix your butter chocolate and cannabis mixture into your other wet ingredients and combine well.
Slowly fold your dry ingredients, flour, sugar, baking powder and cocoa, into your mix, trying not to remove too much of the air.
Add your parchment paper to your baking sheet, or use some butter to lubricate the tray. Spread evenly over your sheet, making sure any solid pieces like walnuts or chocolate chips are spread out too.
Cooking time can vary depending on the depth of your tray, but generally they take around 20 minutes.
Once you remove your brownies from your oven, use a rubber spatula to remove it from the tray and leave to cool for a couple hours on a wire rack.
Further Guidance
This will give you the finest weed brownies you can possibly make. The only thing you really need to be careful of is the THC percentage of each serving size. Make sure you adjust your cannabis, or CBD to make your brownies exactly as strong as you need.
You can also experiment with different strains of weed, hash or canna butter, to change the way your brownie batter tastes. Really you need to consider this cannabis brownie recipe as a base for whatever your needs are.
Preparation and Baking tips
Make sure that you put your brownies into a preheated oven. Not accounting for oven temperature can lead to undercooked brownies.
When you add your cannabis product, hash or CBD hash into your bowl, to mix it with the melted butter, make sure that your wet ingredients are not too hot. This can lead to the cannabis brownies denaturing the THC or CBD. Make sure you have a cool chocolate mixture.
When you have mixed your eggs, sugar and vanilla extract, you should have a really light fluffy consistency. It is important that when adding your other ingredients, you don't over mix your batter. For it to bake into light fluffy brownies we need to keep that air in.
Use a fine mesh sieve for your flour, cocoa and baking powder to avoid clumping. This will also save you mixing too much when adding back to the egg mixture.
Once your brownies have cooled, place them in an airtight container so that they remain fresh.
Enhancing the Flavour
To get a more delicious brownie batter, you can try adding some extra ingredients. If you are not worried about nutrition calories or health in this treat, you can add in some caramel chunks, dried fruit or other extras. In the heat these things melt and mix into the batter to give you a whole new recipe, with a new taste.
Experiment with strains and flavours to see what tastes best to you. Only you are going to eat these brownies and it is really most important what you think.
If you try different weed strains you may find that the edible gets even better for you.
Alongside changing the weed, you can also experiment with different types of chocolate. White, dark, milk or even something more exciting like pistachio chocolate. Just don't forget to consider dietary restrictions of anyone who is going to eat your brownies. All of these add to the flavour.
I also suggest adding that salt, just to balance out the sweetness of your edible.
Storage and Shelf Life
just like in the coffee shops, your hash brownies are best kept in an airtight container. There is a risk of oxidation and the THC dissipating if not.
The container should also be kept away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture just to ensure that your weed brownies last as long as possible. Generally I would say they should be eaten up to a week after the bake.
A good tip is to label when they were made to keep track of storage.
Responsible Consumption
Make sure you think about portion size and the strength of your brownie recipe. The thing with weed brownies is that it can take a while to take effect. That is why starting with small pieces and waiting at least 2 hours to asses the effects is my suggestion.
Everyone has this story that their friend didn't feel the edibles, so ate another and travelled to another dimension. Make sure you wait the time to ensure you have the best experience.
Going forward you can adjust the servicing size and cannabis quantity in your recipe to make your perfect strength weed brownies.
Also make sure you take the cannabis or hash or CBD hash potency into consideration too. If you are using strong stuff, you will need less.
Tips for Beginners
Use weighing scales for your cannabis/CBD. Ensure you follow guidances on the recipe.
You can make canna butter separately, keep in the fridge and crack it out whenever it is needed. But this takes a pretty substantial amount of prep time. For easiest experience stick to hash in butter.
Make sure you have snacks! This is the best tip anyone gave me, once you are feeling your edible you don't want your brownies to be the only thing you have available to eat. The poor decision making possibilities are pretty clear and can result in getting too high.
Keep snacks handy so your hash brownie has the desired effects and isn't too intense.
