Cannabis Recipe 101: How To Make Vegan Pot Brownies

Consider the brownie. There are many reasons it’s been popular as an iconic cannasseur food for decades: It’s decadent, delicious, and masks the grassy taste of weed better than most.

But like many edibles, it may not fit into every digestive sweet spot. Often made with eggs and animal fats, brownies aren’t exactly vegan by nature. Or at least earlier. These delicious vegan weed brownies have all the ooey gooey goodness without the animal products – a truly upscale weed brownie experience.

Why make cannabis-infused treats with no animal by-products?

The reasons are endless: treat yourself, enjoy the weekend, share an experience with friends. Edibles offer a longer-lasting alternative to other methods of cannabis consumption and do not involve combustion; Making them at home also gives you more control over ingredients and dosage.

These weed brownies are vegan so you can indulge with other consumers who may have dietary restrictions or preferences.

• 1/2 cup (115g) vegan cannabutter (melted)
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) sugar

directions

Step 1: Prepare pan

Preheat oven to 350°F.

First, brush the bottom and edges of the pan with some vegan butter. This will help the parchment stick to the pan. Cut a piece of parchment that will fit in the pan. Now brush the piece of parchment lightly with butter.
