If you’re following a vegan diet, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get to enjoy cannabis edibles that are anything less than delicious.
The key to keeping a recipe entirely vegan while still packing a punch: cooking with cannabis-infused coconut oil.
It’s easy to make, and incredibly versatile; cannabis coconut oil can seamlessly replace other fats like vegetable and olive oil in most non-medicated recipes.

1 cup of cannabis coconut oil
3 ½ cups of powdered sugar
1 cup of peanut butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions:
- Lightly grease a baking dish with coconut oil or another mild-tasting cooking oil (canola oil or vegetable oil will do the trick).

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Your favorite fall flavor is the key to a perfect cannabis-infused breakfast. These pumpkin spice pancakes from The Weed Scene pack a lot of punch, so this is a recipe best suited to silver dollar pancakes. Top with maple syrup (another fall staple) and enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup of vanilla flavored soy milk
1 tbsp of lemon juice
¼ cup of canna-oil
2 tablespoon of agave nectar
2-3 overripe bananas
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of white whole-wheat flour
½ cup of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon of salt
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy milk and lemon juice. Once combined, let it sit for five minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir fully to combine, and set aside.
- With a fork or potato masher, mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl (be sure to leave a few lumps). Add the canna-oil, agave nectar, vanilla, and soy milk mixture; stir well to combine.
- Carefully add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while stirring. Mix well to get rid of any lumps in the batter.
- Place a skillet on the stovetop and set to medium heat. Once the skillet is heated up, lightly grease or butter the surface, and add a small tester pancake. When it begins to bubble, it’s ready to be flipped; if the bottom of the pancake is burned, the heat needs to be reduced.
- When you’ve found the right temperature, drop the pancake batter onto the skillet in small discs. Cook for about five minutes on each side, and keep in a warmed oven until ready to enjoy. Top with maple syrup and enjoy!

Dairy-Free Canna-Coconut Milk
This coconut-based mother’s milk recipe from Cannabis Now is a great tool to have in your vegan cooking arsenal, as well a powerful way to use your kief. Substitute it in any drinkable cannabis recipe that calls for cannamilk, or enjoy on its own. It’s as easy as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
1 gallon of coconut milk (vanilla or unflavored)
1 gram of kief
Directions:
1. Start by decarbing your kief. Follow this handy guide to make sure you’re on the right track.
2. Use the double boiler method to heat up your coconut milk. Use the lowest setting for best results. Add the coconut milk and kief, gently stirring with a spoon to ensure that all of the cannabis is wholly incorporated.
3. Let the cannabis and coconut milk mixture heat on the lowest setting for one hour. You’ll need to keep careful watch over the milk mixture to prevent burning. A skin may form on top of the milk as it infuses, but it shouldn’t get hot enough to scald.
4. After one hour, place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over the heat-friendly container of your choice, and strain the canna-coconut milk (do not include the skin).
5. Enjoy your milk warm, or allow to set in an ice bath for a few moments before refrigerating. Give milk a good stir before drinking or serving.
