A note about dosing:
Be mindful of your dosage when using THC or CBD.
A standard dose of THC in an edible is 5-10 mg, so calculate accordingly. Click here for information about dosing and potency.
Start with a low dose and wait at least an hour before slowly consuming more, as the effects of ingested cannabis can take longer to kick in and can affect people differently.
Why Go Vegan With Your Pot Brownies?
Let's tackle the elephant in the room. Why go vegan? Even if you're not plant-based, our vegan pot brownies offer a rich, delectable flavor without the dairy. And let's face it; it's always good to diversify your culinary repertoire. Plus, if you're sharing, they're an inclusive option for all your friends.
Decarbing: Unlocking the Essence
Decarboxylation, often dubbed "decarbing," is where the magic starts. To the uninitiated, this might sound like a complex alchemical process. But don't be intimidated. Simply put, it's about gently heating your cannabis flower to activate the THC compounds. This turns your regular, garden-variety cannabis into a potent ingredient, adding a toasty, nutty depth to your final dishes.
What does"lipophilic" mean?
For those curious about the science behind cannabis cuisine, here's a tidbit: THC and CBD are "lipophilic" substances. This means they're essentially "fat-loving," dissolving well in oils and fats but not so much in water. Why does this matter? It ensures that the cannabinoids are efficiently absorbed into your body when you consume them, especially when paired with fats in recipes.
Nailing the perfect vegan pot brownie is like mixing a classic cocktail. It’s all about the proportions—balancing the potency of your THC Oil with the rest of your ingredients. This does involve a dash of precision, but don't sweat it; we're here to guide you through the math. Just follow our instructions in the post below.

Wait - did you say prune purée to substitute for eggs?
Yes. We did. In addition to being a great binder because of their fiber and natural sugar (sorbitol) prunes enhance the chocolate flavor of the brownies. Bake from Scratch recommends using ¼ cup prune purée to replace each egg in baking recipes.
To make prune purée, blend 16 ounces of pitted prunes with ½ cup hot water until smooth. Stow it sealed in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
