If you took every classic stoner movie, tossed it into a blender, and hit purée, you’d always land on the same tired plot: some teen “accidentally” doses their parents with THC muffins. But that can’t happen if you’re planning on baking CBD brownies!
Honestly, most of our parents are halfway through their first grow and comparing notes, as if it’s the new rose-gardening club. Cannabis is becoming the next geranium.
In our more enlightened era of cannabis culture, instead of pranking your family with THC bombs, why not win them over with something wholesome… like a batch of delicious CBD brownies?
And if you’re sitting there thinking, “Wait… what’s the big deal between the C-B-D and the T-H-C?”, let’s break it down like the Zootly Crew does:
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis. However, unlike THC, which sends you flying into the astral plane, CBD won’t make you high. It just chills your vibe, smooths the edges, and keeps you centred enough to remember that you left the oven on.
Anyway!
Now that the sciencey stuff is out of the way: YES, you can cook with CBD!
Let’s stop the storytelling and get to the recipe-making!
What You’ll Need To Make CBD Brownies
First step, grab your baking tray, phone your mama, and let’s whip up a tray of magic (the legal, non-psychoactive kind)
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 3/4 cup melted (but not hot) butter;
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil;
- 1 tbsp of Broad Spectrum CBD Oil
- 3 large eggs;
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
There are different strengths of CBD oil; just as with making a brandy pudding, we suggest using it responsibly.
Now let’s get to the making of these BROWNIES!
Making Brownies!
First, preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease your tray with spray-and-cook, then line it with baking paper like the responsible adult you sometimes pretend to be.
In a big bowl, whisk together your melted butter, CBD Oil, vegetable oil, and sugars. Mix like you’re channeling being on the Great British Bake-Off, with everything to prove.
Once it’s silky and smooth, throw in the eggs and vanilla. Beat it for a minute until everything looks well mixed.
Next, add the dry ingredients. Mix till it’s smooth and rich, then stir in your chocolate chips. Want to be an overachiever? Chop up some Zootly CBD Chocolate and toss that in too. We won’t stop you.
Pour the batter into your tray, level it out, and bake for 25–30 minutes.
Test your brownies with a toothpick; you’re looking for damp crumbs. Not dry.
We’re making brownies, not roof tiles.
Let them cool for about 15 minutes (yes, we know it’s a bit of torture), then serve.
And there you have it! CBD brownies your family will love!
