Today is a special day because small hemp plants have just peeked out of the ground- first time legally on my property.🙏🌱 That's a reason to celebrate!🥳🤠🍪 Wish me luck my friends as everything depends on it right now...and hard work.💪
Many times I watched amazing entries by chefs contesting on Plant Power Cooking Challenge created by @JustinParke.
I’ve prepared medical CBD Brownies, but I can’t exactly claim they’re healthy, due to it’s cakey structure. I hope that’s ok by you guys.😁
Usually, medical brownies are traditionally made from cannabutter, which is infused with flowers or leaves into the butter. Since it is not exactly harvest time, I made an extract of dried flowers of hemp- CBD resin, using a Rick Simpson method, which I infused into olive oil. Due to the pleasant taste of the resin (my personal opinion), the brownies really complement the flavor. I added locust bean flour to the dough, which goes well with bitter cocoa. I spiced them up with a hint of coarse salt, vanilla flavor, a blend of grain coffee (roasted barley malt and roasted chicory root) and a fair bite of love for hemp and baking. I enjoy very bitter brownies, so I added only a little sugar and used more raw cocoa powder instead of chocolate. After a pleasant work, we also drank a cup of cereal coffee, with the addition of plant based milk. We also found a few strawberries in the garden and around the forest, great saviors in the case of sugar drop. 🤪
Ingredients:
- 2 dl cereal coffee blend (I used 1 tablespoon Kneipp- roasted barley malt and one tablespoon of Divka- barley malt and roasted chicory root)
- 130 g of all-purpose flour
- 70 g of locust bean flour
- 120 g of ground flax seeds
- 40 g of brown sugar
- a pinch of coarse salt
- vanilla extract
- a teaspoon of baking powder
- 150 g of raw cocoa powder
- 1 dl of olive oil
- 2 ml of CBD extract
Preparation:
- In a coffee pot, mix 2 deal of cold water and one tablespoon of roasted barley malt (Kneipp) and 1 tablespoon of a mixture of barley malt and roasted chicory root (Divka). Bring to lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally. Watch out that it doesn't boil over the pot. When it boils, remove from the heat, stir and put back on the stove. Repeat the process twice more, as coffee must boil three times. Set it aside to cool down.
- Sip all dry ingredients in a large bowl over a sieve: all-purpose flour, locust bean flour, brown sugar (usually ground in a mortar first), coarse salt, baking powder, raw cacao powder and flax seeds, which are mixed in a coffee grinder or blender. Mix all ingredients evenly.
- In a double boiler (water bath), heat the olive oil and add the CBD resin. Stir using a silicone spatula to dissolve the resin and infuse into the oil.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients. If the dough is too dry, add some plant based milk to it. Cocoa, locust bean flour, vanilla and hemp are energetically strong medicines.
We take the time to mix the ingredients with respect, while feeling the energy of the ingredients that were once alive. Therefor I like to use a wooden spoon.
Stir until the dough becomes smooth and sticky.
- Pour the dough into a greased and floured baking tray. Scrape off all the dough from the bowl, with a silicone spatula, as we don't want any precious drop of magic going to waste.
Push into a preheated oven at 160 ⁰C (325 °F). If we overheat the oven we will destroy a lot of cannabinoids and of course we don’t want that.🧐
Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Brownies should still be rubbery in the middle, if they are baked for too long they will become dry.
