🍌 Blazed Banana Bread Bites

Bite-sized comfort with a mellow Canadian kick

Let’s not pretend banana bread isn’t already carrying half the emotional weight of this country. It’s what we bake when life feels a little sideways, or when our bananas start looking like they’ve been through something. But these? These are banana bread’s laid-back, snackable cousin: mini banana muffins infused with a bit of cannabis butter, topped with a maple cream cheese frosting.

They’re simple, delicious, and hit that perfect “I want something sweet, chill, and vaguely homemade” zone. Let’s get into it.

🧈 No Cannabutter? No Cry

If you’ve already got cannabis-infused butter, good on ya. You’re ahead of the game. But if not, here’s the move:

Option 1: Use regular melted butter and stir in a few drops of unflavoured THC oil or tincture (available at most dispensaries). Just mix it in well. You’re going for about 5mg THC per muffin if you want to keep things mellow.

Option 2: Make your own cannabutter. It’s just butter + ground cannabis + patience. We won’t walk you through the whole process here, but trust us—it’s more “simmer and strain” than science experiment.

🇨🇦 Mini Muffins, Major Vibes

Why bite-sized? Because we’re Canadian, and we like our snacks friendly, polite, and easy to pass around. They bake faster, dose easier, and let you eat four without feeling like a menace. Also: they fit nicely in a hoodie pocket. Not that we’re encouraging that.

🍁 What You’ll Need

For the muffins:

• 3 ripe bananas (the ones that look like they’ve retired)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

For the maple cream cheese frosting:

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• ¾ cup powdered sugar

🥣 How to Make ‘Em

1. Preheat the oven

350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan. No liners needed—this is casual baking, not a royal wedding.

2. Mash & Mix

Mash bananas in a big bowl. Add butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir until it looks like something you’d trust to bake.

3. Dry goods time

Add baking soda, salt, and flour. Stir just until combined. Don’t overmix unless you like rubber muffins. (Nobody likes rubber muffins.)

4. Fill & Bake

Spoon into muffin cups, ⅔ full. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and they pass the toothpick test.

5. Cool & Frost

Let them cool before frosting—unless you’re into sliding frosting and bad decisions.

🧠 THC Tips So You Don’t Trip

Edibles sneak up on you like a Tim Hortons drive-thru line at 8am. So be smart:

• Start with one muffin (~5mg THC).

• Wait at least an hour.

• Avoid “just one more” unless you’re very confident or very home for the day.

And maybe write the dosage on the container. You don’t want your roommate popping three and ending up horizontal at Canadian Tire.

🧊 Storage: Chill Now, Snack Later

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for about a week. Or freeze them and forget about them until a future version of you opens the freezer like “oh HELLO.”
