    Ingredient Notes

    • 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 room temperature, too.
    • Sugar: I use white sugar in this recipe, but if you want, you could substitute cannabis sugar.
    • Bananas: Make sure they are nice and ripe - the more spots, the better!
    • Flour: Feel free to substitute this for any flour of choice, gluten-free all purpose flour will make this recipe gluten-free.
    • Eggs: You can substitute this for a flaxseed egg, if vegan.
    • Salt, Cinnamon & Nutmeg: To taste.

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

    Storage Instructions

    You can store this banana bread covered at room temperature for 3-5 days, or store in refrigerator for up to 7-10 days. Freeze any remaining bread that won't be consumed by them.

    Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options

    As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore all of 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 and 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 pretty easy to make, and really great to bake with.

    It is entirely up to you whether or not you want to use infused oil or infused 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 you are unsure, you can check out my guide to decarbing cannabis concentrates here. 

    Once the concentrate is ready to go, you will simply 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, more 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 stay away from 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.

    Notes and Expert Tips

    • This recipe makes 2, 9" loaves. You can choose to slice this as thin or thick as desired. 
    • If you want to make smaller loaves, use three 3x5" loaf pans in place of each 9" loaf pan.
    • To prevent over-browning, place loafs in the center of the oven.
    • Butter or grease the pan and then dust them with a small amount of flour for an easy removal of the end product.
    • Top each individual warm piece of bread with butter or cannabutter for an even better experience.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cannabis Banana Bread can be brand new to even the most seasoned cannabis consumer, so here are some of the most common FAQs I get asked about Cannabis Banana Bread from my Well With Cannabis Community.

    What are some toppings that I can use on this bread?

    Cannabutter, cannahoney, butter with cinnamon, or even jelly & jam!

    What are some gluten-free flour substitutions that I can use?

    All-purpose gluten-free flour would be the best substitute.

    What are some dairy-free substitutions?

    A simple swap from cannabutter to cannabis coconut oil would do the trick!

    How can I make sure my bread turns out soft and moist?

     Make sure you are using the proper ratio of flour to banana. That will make a world of a difference.

    Is there a way to increase the banana flavor in the bread?

    Yes! You can warm up the mashed bananas in the microwave before adding to the mixture to bring out more of the fabulous banana taste.

    Can bananas be too ripe to add to the bread?

    Never! No such thing as a "too ripe" banana when it comes to banana bread. Unless, of course, they are moldy and/or completely black in color.

    What if I don't have enough bananas for the recipe?

    You can substitute some of the bananas for applesauce if you have that on hand.
