Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegetable oil or olive oil
  • 1/8 oz. marijuana, finely chopped or ground
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Lightly grease a 12-inch-by-17 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in large pan on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the marijuana and cook, stirring frequently, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until brown. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy milk, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Strain the marijuana oil through a strainer or colander and add to the dry mixture, making sure that the marijuana remains in the strainer or colander.
  • Mix in the other wet ingredients, followed by the chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth out the top with a moistened spatula.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until surface cracks appear.
  • Transfer the pan to a cooling rack. The brownies will set as they cool. When completely cool, cut into squares.
