Can I bake decarboxylated budder?

is there a certain way to do it? Do I make the butter the same way I would for a no bake recipe.
A lot of recipes call for 350 degrees. I need this clarified once and for all.
Why do these recipes call for 350 when that's too hot for thc? Is it because as soon as the internal temp reaches 350 the brownies are done?

Info on how I make my edibles.

Bake at 250 degrees for 30 min, cool
Put in magical butter machine with lecithin and coconut oil
Run at 160 for 1 hour
(Magic butters recipe, I just got the machine.)
Then I bake no bake edibles like chocolate and rice crispies.

How to I prepare if I know I'm going in the oven?

Can I make gummies or lollipops with coconut oil
I have a very high tolerance and I'm using trim

I have been told (no science to reference) that the internal temp of baked goods does not ever reach the temp of the oven so unless something requires an extended cooking time the oven shouldn't cause problems. You can make anything you have a recipe for. I have no experience making anything but chocolate or baking.

2 yr degree in culinary arts, 15 yrs experience in restaurants, 5 or which are fine dining. The internal temp of a food item.cooking in the oven will NEVER EVER reach said oven temp it's being cooked at. Next time you read a recipe for a meat item, say a pork tenderloin, most often will say preheat oven to 350 and cook for 45 mins or until the internal temp gets to 160*. You'll have to leave an item cooking in the oven for a hell of a long time, hours upon hours upon hours upon hours, to get it even close to the oven set temp your cooking at.

If baked goods even reached the boiling point of water, they would be rock hard as the water would turn to vapor and be gone.

Some science at 240F:

Results of Decarboxylation Experiment
The following charts show the results of the 30 minute and 60 minute decarboxylation experiments. Also included are the lab results from testing done prior to any artificial decarboxylation to establish a starting point. Note that because of the age of both the kief and the trim, decarboxylation had begun to take place to some degree naturally. This may not be your starting point, but should not affect the results of the experiment much.

Kief
Compound Before Decarb 30 Min Decarb 60 Min Decarb
THCA 24.5% 2.6% .1%
THC 3.8% 25.4% 25.5%
CBDA .6% .3% .3%
CBD 0% 1% .1%
CBN .4% 1% 1.4%
Moisture 0% 0% 0%
Total Cannabanoids 29.3% 30.3% 27.4%
Cannabis Trim
Compound Before Decarb 30 Min Decarb 60 Min Decarb
THCA 6.5% 2.9% .2%
THC .6% 4.8% 6.9%
CBDA .2% .2% .1%
CBD 0% 0% .1%
CBN 0% 0% 0%
Moisture 3.4% 4.5% 0%
Total Cannabanoids 7.3% 7.9% 7.3%
Testing provided by SC Labs

As you can see from the two charts, 30 minutes was not quite enough to completely decarboxylate either the kief or the trim. At 30 minutes the kief was about 90% decarboxylated but the trim was only about 60% decarboxylated. This difference is likely because the trim had a higher starting moisture content. After 60 minutes however, both keif and trim samples were close enough to 100% decarboxylation for my satisfaction.

So there you have it. 240° F for 60 minutes should be enough to decarboxylate any cannabis with a reasonably low moisture content. For material with higher moisture content, the time can be extended but the temperature should not be increased. If you are concerned about losing organic compounds, lower heat can be used but the time should be extended to compensate.
