FAQ
How much cannabutter do I use in brownies?
This recipe uses ½ cup (113g) of cannabutter for 16 brownies. If your cannabutter is 48 mg/tbsp, total THC is about 384 mg, or 24 mg per brownie — a strong dose. Dilute by mixing half regular butter and half cannabutter for ~12 mg per brownie, or use the BatchCraft calculator to hit your exact target.
How many mg of THC are in a cannabis brownie?
It depends entirely on your cannabutter potency and how many pieces you cut. With standard cannabutter (7g flower per cup of butter, 20% THC), one brownie from a 16-piece batch contains approximately 24–48 mg THC — more than enough for most users. Use weaker cannabutter or cut more pieces for lower doses.
Can I substitute cannabis oil for cannabutter in brownies?
Yes. Use the same volume of cannabis-infused coconut oil or MCT oil in place of cannabutter. The texture will be slightly different — oil-based brownies tend to be fudgier and denser. Recalculate potency since oil density differs from butter (240g per cup vs 227g).
