Why You Will Love This Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I secretly think that I subconsciously allow my bananas to go bad just to have an excuse to make banana bread.

It’s sweet, perfectly baked, and infused with plenty of flower power *wink*.

My Well With Cannabis Community loves banana bread, and I do too! I created this cannabis-infused banana bread recipe with a delectable streusel topping. Yum!

In this post, we will explore how to make cannabis banana bread with multiple different infusion options, share my expert tips & tricks, and answer FAQs so you can make the ultimate banana bread that will impress even the harshest critics.

What You’ll Need

• 2 cups all purpose flour: Feel free to substitute this for any flour of choice; gluten-free all-purpose flour will make this recipe gluten-free.
• 1½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup white granulated sugar: I use white sugar in this recipe, but if you want, you could substitute cannabis sugar.
• ½ cup Bliss Cannabutter: The cannabutter needs to be softened to room temperature for the best result. It won’t cream together well if it is cold and hard. Completely melted is not ideal, either. You can substitute cannabis coconut oil here, but it should be at room temperature, too.
• 3 large extra-ripe bananas: Make sure they are nice and ripe – the more spots, the better!
• 2 large eggs: You can substitute this for a flaxseed egg if vegan.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Walnut Streusel Topping

• ¼ cup crushed walnuts
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 tablespoon white, granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

The Step-by-Step Process

In preparation, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 9″ loaf pans.

• Step 1 – In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour through nutmeg.

Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options

As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all the different ways you could infuse this recipe.

Butter or Oil

important for every cannabis kitchen, either of these two staple recipes, will cannabis coconut oil or cannabutter will work to make this banana bread. You can make these in either a crockpot or Instant Pot.

You will want to make sure you have one of these recipes prepared BEFORE diving into making this recipe. 

The process involves cannabis decarboxylation and then oil infusion, which takes approximately 5 hours.

Cannabis Sugar

You can make this recipe with cannabis-infused sugar if you have some on hand. 

Made from a cannabis tincture, cannabis sugar is easy to make and great to bake.

It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to use infused oil or sugar.

Additionally, you could use BOTH infused oil or butter and infused sugar together for an extra potent batch of bread.

Concentrates

You can also make this banana bread with cannabis concentrates like FECO.

First, check to see if your concentrate needs to be decarbed before consuming. If unsure, you can check out my guide to decarbing cannabis concentrates here. 

Once the concentrate is ready, you will mix it in with the butter called for in this recipe. Then prepare the recipe as described in the instructions below.

Decarbed Flower

You can use plain, ground, decarbed cannabis flower or decarbed kief to infuse into this banana bread. If needed, you can decarb in an Instant Pot.

You may notice a stronger, earthy flavor – but some people love the taste.

Simply follow these instructions for decarbing and grinding, and then add a tablespoon or two to the dry ingredients in this recipe.

CBD Flower or Oil

If you prefer to avoid THC, you can easily make this a CBD banana bread – or even a CBG banana bread!

Simply use CBD-dominant flower or CBG-dominant flower and add them in as the decarbed flower instructions below suggest.

You could also use homemade CBD oil or store-bought CBD oil in place of the cannabutter or oil.
