Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips for melting
  • 1 1/2 cups cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, divided for mixing into the batter and topping
  • 1 tablespoon brewed coffee optional, enhances chocolate flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder optional, for depth in chocolate flavor

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish
  1. Grab an 8x8 inch baking pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the pan with some butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This small step saves you a lot of hassle.
Step 2: Melt Your Chocolate
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the chocolate chips and melted butter. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is smooth and melted. The aroma of chocolate fills your kitchen, and it’s already looking promising!
Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs
  1. In another bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until it's fluffy and pale. This incorporates air, which helps achieve a light texture.
Step 4: Combine Chocolate Mixture
  1. Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar blend. Add the vanilla extract here. This sweet mixture is where the magic starts happening; enjoy the aroma!
Step 5: Add Dry Ingredients
  1. In yet another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined; don’t overmix—it’s okay if there are some lumps!
Step 6: Incorporate the Chocolate Chips
  1. Fold in half of the remaining chocolate chips to the batter. If you’re feeling daring, add a splash of brewed coffee and instant espresso powder for that extra kick. Honestly, it amplifies the chocolate flavors like nothing else.
Step 7: Bake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for an indulgent finish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Remember, every oven is different, so keep a careful eye.
Step 8: Cool and Slice
  1. Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out with the parchment lining and slice them into squares. Each piece is a little parcel of joy.

Notes

  • Quality Matters: Use high-quality chocolate and cannabis. The flavor of your brownies really shines with better ingredients.
  • Decarb Your Cannabis: If you use flower instead of pre-infused oil, make sure to decarb properly before infusing.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to play with flavors. Think sea salt on top or a hint of chili powder for warmth.
  • Know Your Dosage: Start low with potency when you're unsure about your infused oil. You want to enjoy, not overwhelm.
  • Let Them Rest: Allow brownies to rest for a bit after baking. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
