This recipe for Coconut Oil Cannabis Brownies is part of my larger feature: How to Make the Best Pot Brownies: Recipes, Tips & Troubleshooting
Coconut oil, revered for its health enhancing qualities, replaces traditional butter in this moist brownie recipe. I also like the subtle coconut flavor it adds to the finished product.
Infuse cannabis coconut oil the same way you would any other oil. My making Marijuana Oil tutorial will show you how. This makes a dense fudgy brownie.
Freezer Friendly Coconut Oil Cannabis Brownies
For longer storage, wrap each brownie individually then freeze. When you want to enjoy a medicated treat, just bring to room temperature and enjoy. Coconut oil offers the advantage of having one of the longest shelf lives of all edibles oils, but freezing ensures everything will stay fresh until you are ready to eat. It also helps control portions and lack of willpower. Simething that is especially important with edibles.
A note about the Dosage for Coconut Oil Cannabis Brownies
This recipe will have about 55 mg THC per serving IF you made your marijuana oil from average cannabis (10% THC) and used 1/2 ounce of marijuana to make 1 cup oil. That's a pretty strong dose and a lot of people are going to want to half that or even quarter it.
Better still, to adjust the dosage for your personal needs and to reflect the strength of the marijuana you are cooking with and the amounts you used to make your oil, be sure to take my FREE 10 minute online Dosing Course that will teach you how to do it, or use my handy dosage calculator tools that do all the math for you (see below).

Is there a recommended size to cut for a single dose of this brownie?
That’s why I came here.. did u find the answer? 1Inch by one inch?
Sorry I missed this comment way back when. For the dosage in this recipe, you would cut the pan of brownies into 12 servings, but everyone’s needs are different, so how much you will need will depends on your own tolerance and the quality of the cannabis you personally cooked with.

Do you have a brand of unsweetened chocolate that you like? And does it matter if the cocoa powder is unsweetened as well?
Yes the cocoa powder is unsweetened. Any high quality unsweetened chocolate will do, I don’t have a big preference.
I like useing the milk chocolate. Helps make the brownies more rich and milky
Does this create an odor while baking?
The brownies themselves just smell like brownies when baking. Infusing the coconut oil, on the other hand, can be fragrant. If odor is an issue, infuse in the STay and Go Slow cooker (that I talk about in the this article
https://www.cannabischeri.com/food/cooking-basics/how-to-make-marijuana-oil-stovetop-and-slow-cooker-methods/
or make small batch infusions in the Ardent Lift.
https://www.cannabischeri.com/food/cooking-basics/how-to-make-marijuana-infusions-in-the-ardent-lift-decarboxylator/
Both of these methods have nearly no odor while infusing. But the baking brownies should just smell like brownies.
Making these now. I extracted the concentrate from crystals in the grinder. Decarbed the oil. Mixed into heated coconut oil. Then followed your recipe. I plan on quartering the squared because I’m fairly sure these are going to be strong AF.
So 1/2 cup of canna infused coconut oil. Plus 1/8 of coconut oil ?
That is a suggestion in order to achieve the dose in the dosing notes (provided you are cooking with the same strength of cannabis). ALL dosing in mine or anyone’s recipes should be adjusted for your individual needs, because everyone is very different. My free dosing class or $5.00 dosing calculators at Cannademy.com can help you do that.
If I only have cannabis infused olive oil, will that be okay to do instead?
It will change the flavor but the recipe should still work.
