Ingredients
2 cups organic oats
1.50 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
4 tbsp Medicated Coconut Oil (@ 20 mg/ Tbsp)
1 Large Banana
2 tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Baking Soda
2 tbsp Organic Maple Syrup
1 tbsp Organic Vanilla Extract
1 ¼ cups Organic Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
3 tbsp water
Directions
Heat a griddle, skillet or cast iron pan on medium-high heat. Using a paper towel, rub on a bit of the medicated oil to grease the pan. Each pancake takes about 7-8 minutes total to cook, so if you can only fit one pancake on your griddle, use 2 pans at once to reduce the total cooking time.
In a blender, mix together the oats and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of almond milk. Add about a tablespoon of the medicated coconut oil to the blender. Mix in a large banana, baking soda and baking powder. Blend on medium for 30 seconds- 1 minute until a thick batter forms. The batter should have a thick consistency, so when you drop the batter on the griddle, the batter will slowly form into a circle shape.
When your skillet is evenly pre-heated (around 10-12 minutes if you are using cast iron), drop 1/4 cup of batter on the heated pan, and lightly spread the batter with the back of the spoon to make a round.
Cook until some bubbles of the batter start to form- about 5-7 minutes. You may need to adjust the heat to medium-low so the surface of the pancake does not burn. This vegan recipe contains no egg, so remember to keep in mind that these pancakes cook slow compared to other traditional pancake recipes.
Once the pancakes are ready, carefully flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, about 4-5 minutes more.
Tips for Dosing Edibles
This is where many people find cooking with cannabis to be a little difficult because dosing varies between the product (homemade canna-butter/ oil vs. CA Compliant grade products with precise dosing and measuring). It’s also difficult to vary on dosing because everyone is different! We absorb, metabolize and digest at different rates. A 5-10mg dose for one person will affect two different people very differently. It’s so so crucial to note that when it comes to dosing with my recipes, people start off with a lower dosage and go from there where they know how their body reacts to medicated food.
