Preheat your oven to 175°C and grease a 23x13cm loaf pan with a little cannabutter or line with parchment paper.
Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining. The browner the bananas, the sweeter and more flavourful your bread will be.
Combine the melted cannabutter with the mashed bananas, then whisk in eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Ensure your MagicalButter Machine MB2E cannabutter is completely melted but not hot.
Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the wet ingredients.
Fold the mixture together with a wooden spoon until just combined — don’t overmix or your bread will be tough. The batter should look slightly lumpy. Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top gently. Use your Nut Milk Bag / Fine Mesh Strainer (2-pack) to verify oven temperature before baking.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. The top should be golden brown and spring back lightly when touched.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before slicing — this helps the crumb set properly and makes cleaner cuts for accurate dosing.
Half-Strength Option
Replace 25g cannabutter with regular butter for 11.5mg doses per slice — perfect for beginners or daytime treats.
Banana Ripeness
The blacker and softer your bananas, the better. They should be so ripe you wouldn’t eat them fresh — that’s when they’re perfect for baking.
Even Distribution
Weigh your finished loaf and divide by 12 to ensure each slice contains the same amount of cannabutter for consistent dosing.
Moisture Test
Insert a skewer into the thickest part — it should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter or completely clean.
Label Everything
Clearly mark your finished bread with contents, THC dose per slice, and date made. Cannabis banana bread looks identical to regular bread.
Freezer Friendly
Slice before freezing and wrap individual pieces. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds.
| Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Room temperature | 3-4 days | Wrapped in plastic or airtight container |
| Refrigerated | 1 week | Best for maintaining freshness |
| Frozen | 3 months | Slice first, wrap individually |

Absolutely! Replace 25g of the cannabutter with regular butter to create 11.5mg doses per slice. This is perfect for beginners or those wanting a milder effect while still enjoying the delicious banana bread flavour.
Effects typically begin 30-120 minutes after eating, with peak effects around 2-3 hours. The high fat content from butter can slow absorption, so be patient and don’t eat more within the first 2 hours.
Yes, if you’re making your own cannabutter. Raw cannabis won’t produce psychoactive effects. If you’re using pre-made cannabutter, the decarboxylation has already been done during the infusion process.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Always label clearly with contents and dosage information.
Stay calm and hydrated. Find a comfortable, safe space and wait it out — effects will pass. Try taking a shower, eating something, or getting some fresh air. Call the Poisons Information Centre (13 11 26) if you’re seriously concerned.
Yes, use 40ml of cannabis coconut oil instead of 50g cannabutter. The bread will have a subtle coconut flavour and slightly different texture, but the dosing calculations remain the same based on your oil’s potency.
