How to Make Banana Weed Pancakes

There are ever more ways to consume cannabis, and today we’re looking at one that is particularly benevolent: cannabis pancakes. These delicious morning treats can actually be made in several different ways, and we’ll focus on imbuing the batter with the power of THC via mashed banana. However, if this doesn’t sound appealing to you, you’ll still find out how to get THC into or onto your pancakes by reading the following instructions.

Even though this is one of the cosiest ways to consume cannabis, don’t forget that they are still cannabis edibles, and as such are very strong and should be treated with caution! Caution aside, enjoy!

The Real Meaning of Wake and Bake

Waking and baking can be fun. But why not wake up, bake, and then get baked? Think we’re pushing the joke too far? You might be right. Nevertheless, making weed pancakes in the morning (we’re imagining a lazy weekend morning) can be a great way to start the day, giving yourself the time to enjoy a delicious breakfast that also gets you high, meaning you can spend the rest of the day chilling out!

This process will take a little time, so if you’re in a hurry, we’d suggest sticking to a faster method of getting high—or maybe wait until you can relax and savour it! However, when the time allows, mixing together some pancake batter and throwing some canna-oil into the mix makes for a great start to the day!

How Do You Infuse Cannabis Into Banana Pancakes?

You can add cannabis to your pancakes by either adding it directly to the mixture or by adding it to the filling or topping. In our instructions, we’ll explain how to add it to the pancake batter itself alongside mashed banana. For this recipe, you'll need cannabis oil or cannabutter, as these already hold active THC and can be added at a moment’s notice. This means you won’t need to go through the more lengthy process of creating these infusions each time you fancy some psychoactive pancakes—you just need to whip up the batter.

The following recipe uses canna-oil as this is easy to make and store, although you might consider using cannabutter instead, as this will affect the flavor of your filling and could make it richer, if you’re into that.

How to Make Cannabis Banana Pancakes: Step-by-Step

If your stomach is rumbling by now, then you need wait no longer! The following instructions explain exactly how to make cannabis banana pancakes.

Ingredients

• 125 g flour/gluten-free alternative
• 15 g sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 180 ml milk/vegan alternative (oat milk works well)
• 1 large ripe banana, mashed
• 1 egg
• 30 g cannabis-infused coconut oil or cannabutter, melted
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk
• Spatula
• Non-stick frying pan or griddle
• Ladle

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and add milk, egg, cannabis-infused oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
2. Combine ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. It’s important to keep the heat at medium to avoid degrading the THC. Scoop about 60 ml of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip (we know you can do it!) and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Serve and enjoy: Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with your favorite fruits, and enjoy!

Giving Your Cannabis Banana Pancakes an Extra Kick

The recipe provided makes good pancakes, but really it’s just the start. If you want to get the most from your morning wake-and-bake sessions, then you’ll probably want to add some toppings.

We’re going all-out here and suggesting cannabis-infused toppings too, but you could just stick to normal toppings as your pancakes will already get you high. Alternatively, you can make normal, THC-free pancakes and use cannabis-infused toppings to get your fix.

• Weed Syrup

Syrup is the classic topping for American-style pancakes, so it’s topping our list. Whether it’s alone, with fruit, or added to crispy bacon, syrup is the perfect accompaniment to pancakes. If you want to use cannabis-infused syrup, learn how to make it with our recipe.

• Cannabis Honey

For a more natural sweetness, cannabis honey is a great alternative and goes very well with fruit. With its light floral flavor, it pairs beautifully with banana pancakes and enhances cannabis’ effects in a gentle, gradual way.

• Cannabis Jam

Cannabis-infused jam is a great choice for adding some psychoactive fruity sweetness to your pancakes. It also pairs very well with the banana flavor of our recipe. We recommend just spreading the jam over your pancakes and keeping it simple, but if you feel more adventurous than that, by all means, get weird!

• CBD Strawberry Sauce

Maybe you don’t want to get high, or you want to counteract some of the less-enjoyable effects of THC? Or maybe you just like balance? Whatever you reason, if you’re looking for a non-psychoactive option, CBD strawberry sauce is ideal. This sauce gives the pancakes a fruity touch, combining the benefits of CBD with a fresh, sweet flavor.

• Cannabis Chocolate Sauce

Everyone loves chocolate, so it would be foolish to leave it off this list. Cannabis chocolate sauce brings a rich, decadent flavor to your pancakes. It’s a match made in heaven with bananas and perfect for a special breakfast treat.

How Do You Like Your Cannabis Pancakes in the Morning?

The puns are soon to be over. If you’ve got a long weekend ahead and you want to indulge both the mind and body from noon to night, then you can’t do much better than starting the day with cannabis pancakes.

Pancakes are easy to make, and incorporating THC requires very little extra effort once the canna-oil is made. And being highly versatile, you can get very experimental with toppings and flavors. You could even make yourself savoury pancakes, and then, once the munchies kick in, follow up with some sweet ones for dessert later on!
