There’s nothing quite like a warm slice of weed banana bread to start your morning or wind down your evening. This isn’t just any banana bread—it’s rich, ultra-moist, packed with real banana flavor, and infused with perfectly dosed cannabis butter for a slow-building, long-lasting high.

This recipe has been passed down from a very good family friend, someone who always had a fresh loaf sitting on the counter, ready to be shared. After adding my own twist with cannabis infusion, warm spices, and the perfect butter ratio, I knew this was the only banana bread recipe you’ll ever need—whether you’re looking for a wake-and-bake treat or a relaxing, post-dinner edible.

What Makes This Banana Weed Bread Better?

• More Banana Flavor – Four bananas instead of three for a deeper, richer taste.
• Perfect Cannabis Infusion – A balanced mix of cannabutter and regular butter ensures even potency without overpowering the texture.
• The Right Texture – Soft, moist, and never dry, thanks to the perfect fat-to-flour ratio.
• Warm Spices for Extra Flavor – A hint of cinnamon and nutmeg elevates the banana flavor.
• Optional Crunch – Walnuts or pecans add a subtle buttery texture.
• Easy to Make – No complicated steps, just mix, bake, and enjoy.

If you’ve ever struggled with dry banana bread or uneven cannabis dosing, this recipe fixes both. Every bite is consistent, potent, and packed with flavor.

How to Make Weed Banana Bread (Step-by-Step Guide)

Ingredients for the Best Canna Banana Bread

Main Ingredients:

• 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
• ¾ cup cannabis butter, melted (adjust potency—mix with regular butter if needed)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup brown sugar (adds depth and a hint of caramel)
• ¼ cup white sugar (balances sweetness)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional but highly recommended)
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Pan

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

2. Mash the Bananas

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

Stir in the melted cannabutter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined.

4. Add the Dry Ingredients

Sprinkle in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.

5. Fold in the Flour

Gently add the flour, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix—this keeps the bread light and soft.

6. Add Nuts (Optional)

If using nuts, fold in the toasted walnuts or pecans.

7. Bake to Perfection

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes. The banana bread is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Let it Cool Before Slicing

Allow the banana bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps set the texture and makes for cleaner cuts.

How to Dose Cannabis Banana Bread for Even Potency

Dosing banana weed bread properly ensures a consistent experience with no surprises. Here’s how to calculate potency:

1. Decarboxylation is Key
   Before infusing your butter, bake your ground cannabis at 220-245°F (105-120°C) for 30-45 minutes to activate the THC.
2. Calculate Total THC
   If your cannabutter contains 500mg THC per cup, and you use ¾ cup in this recipe, your whole loaf will contain 375mg THC.
3. Divide for Individual Servings
   If you slice your loaf into 10 equal pieces, each serving will contain around 37.5mg THC. Adjust serving sizes based on tolerance.
4. Mix the Batter Well
   Stir thoroughly to distribute the cannabutter evenly, ensuring every slice has a consistent THC level.
5. Start Low, Go Slow
   Edibles take 45-90 minutes to take effect, so start with one slice and wait before eating more.

What to Do While Your Cannabis Banana Bread Bakes

One of the best parts about baking banana weed bread is the wait. You’ve got a full hour before it’s ready, and that’s the perfect time to roll a joint or pack a fresh bowl.

If you’re using a sativa-infused batch, this is a great moment to spark up and get creative—maybe put on some music, work on a project, or just chill while the kitchen fills with the sweet, buttery aroma.

Either way, baking and baking go hand in hand.

Pro Tips for the Best Banana Weed Bread

✔ Use Overripe Bananas – The darker the peel, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread.
✔ For Milder Edibles – Replace half the cannabutter with regular butter.
✔ Want Stronger Edibles? – Use a higher-potency butter or increase the THC content per batch—but always dose responsibly.
✔ For a Crunchy Topping – Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the batter before baking for a caramelized crust.
✔ Edibles Can Take Time – Be patient. If you don’t feel anything after an hour, wait longer before eating more.
