Gluten Free Weed Brownies Dosage Guide
We recommend that you calculate the potency of the gluten free weed brownies prior to making them. This will allow you to adjust the potency calculator until you find a dosage that fits your preferences. This will also show you how much cannabis butter to use, to get that desired dosage. If you need to lower the potency, you can substitute some regular butter in the place of the cannabis butter. Another alternative is to make the brownies into smaller portions to reduce the potency.
To calculate the potency of this recipe, you must know the potency of the cannabis butter being used. Furthermore, if you know the potency of the cannabis butter, you can determine how many mg of THC are in each brownie, given you divided the brownies into equal portions.

Gluten Free Weed Brownies Recipe
Gluten Free Weed Brownies
Equipment
- Oven
- 9×13 Baking Dish
- Mixing Bowls
- Wire Rack
- Toothpick
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cannabis-Butter *Melted
- 3 Cups White Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- To make these delicious gluten free weed brownies, you will only need a few things. You will need an oven, 9×13-inch baking dish, some mixing bowls, a wire rack and a toothpick.
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Then lightly grease the 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with aluminum foil. This will ensure the brownies do not stick to the pan when you remove them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted cannabis-butter, sugar, and vanilla. Then beat in the 4 eggs one at a time while thoroughly mixing after each one. Ensure the mixture is well blended.
- Now using a separate mixing bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Once it is sifted together, gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until its well blended.
- Optional* stir in the cup of chocolate chips. This step is optional depending on your preferences.
- Now once the batter has been thoroughly blended, spread it into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. To check when the gluten free weed brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean they're ready (can easily pull out), usually 35-40 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool off before dividing it up into the desired serving sizes.

Potency Calculator
To find the potency of your gluten free weed brownies, you must know the potency of your cannabis butter. If you need to calculate the potency of your cannabis butter, head over to our cannabutter guide. Use the calculator at the bottom of that post to estimate the potency of your activated ingredient.
Another important thing to note about potency calculations:
There are many variables involved when calculating the potency of homemade edibles. Some of these variables include the amount of cannabis infused into the butter, how potent the cannabis was, and even the amount of cannabinoids that were burned off while cooking the brownies. In short, there’s a lot of places that your calculation can go wrong, and if there is an error at the beginning of your calculation, that error will be carried throughout and the end result will be way off. It’s important to understand that the potency calculator is just to help you estimate the potency.
