About The Recipe
Cannabis-infused brownies include cannabis as an ingredient, typically in the form of cannabis-infused butter or oil. This infusion is done to incorporate cannabinoids like THC or CBD into the brownie, providing potential psychoactive or therapeutic effects.
The brownie is keto-friendly, which is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat, and moderate-protein diet. Keto brownies often use alternative flour such as almond flour or coconut flour instead of traditional wheat flour and sweeteners like stevia or erythritol instead of sugar.
This recipe allows individuals following a keto lifestyle to enjoy a brownie while potentially experiencing the effects of cannabinoids.
This is Keto-Friendly?
Traditional brownies are made with wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates. In keto brownies, wheat flour is often replaced with low-carb alternatives such as almond flour, coconut flour, or a combination of these. This helps keep the overall carbohydrate content low, a key principle of the ketogenic diet.
Keto emphasizes a high intake of healthy fats. Cannabis-infused butter or oil, a common ingredient in these brownies, contributes to the necessary fat content in the keto diet. Other sources of healthy fats, like eggs and nuts, may also be included in the recipe. Those who have a keto diet may find these brownies a satisfying and permissible treat within the confines of their dietary restrictions.

TIPS & TRICKS
- Make sure to use a toothpick, chopstick or fork to see when the brownie is cooked all the way through. It’s best when there’s a tiny bit of residue left on whatever you use (makes it ooey gooey).
