Ever craved pancakes but dreaded the post-breakfast energy crash? Join me as I solve this age-old dilemma with a game-changing recipe for easy protein cannabis pancakes that deliver all the weekend indulgence without the sluggishness.
This episode dives deep into my quest for the perfect protein pancake recipe—one that maintains the delicious texture and satisfaction of traditional pancakes while packing a nutritional punch. You'll discover how simple ingredients like oat flour, protein powder, and ripe banana transform into fluffy, delicious pancakes that fuel your day rather than derail it. Best of all, I share my foolproof method for cannabis infusion that makes dosing precise and adaptable for every tolerance level.
What makes these pancakes truly special is their versatility. Whether you're sharing breakfast with non-consumers or want to control your own dose with precision, the topping-based infusion method (using cannabutter or infused maple syrup) ensures everyone enjoys breakfast on their own terms. I walk through the entire process—from mixing to cooking to dosing—while sharing my personal Sunday morning ritual that has become the highlight of my week.
The episode also features a fun cannabis trivia segment, updates on upcoming interviews with industry experts Vanessa Lavorato and Michael DeVilliaers, and details about our March challenge in the Bite Me Cannabis Club. Ready to transform your weekend breakfast game while getting your morning dose? Grab your spatula and join me for this mouthwatering exploration of cannabis-infused protein pancakes!

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome, friends, to episode 290.
Can you believe it?
And today we're doing highprotein pancakes.
Welcome to Bite Me, the showabout edibles, where I help you
take control of your high life.
I'm your host and certifiedgonger, margaret, and I love
helping cooks make safe andeffective edibles at home.
I'm so glad you're here andwelcome my friends back to Bite
(00:29):
Me, the podcast that exploresthe intersection of food culture
and cannabis, helping cooksmake great edibles at home.
I am so glad you're here tojoin me for another wonderful
episode of Food and CannabisMelded together.
If you're tuning in for thefirst time, please let me know
where you're listening from.
You can send me a fan mailright inside your podcast
(00:51):
platform and if you've beensticking around for a while, I
really do appreciate you becauseotherwise I'd be talking to
myself something I've mentionedmany times before on this show
and today we are diving into theworld of high protein pancakes
and I'll get into that in asecond.
Please do let me know, like Isaid, where you're listening
from and if you have a favoriteepisode, I would love to hear it
(01:13):
.
Now, before we get into the highprotein pancakes, I thought I
would do a little fun triviaquestion because why not?
I have this deck of cards herethat I'm using Stoner Trivia
race to 420.
I'm randomly choosing a cardout of the deck and today the
(01:33):
question is a knowledge questionwhat state has the most pot
smokers in the US?
This might be up for debate,but the answers that give
potential answers Oregon,washington, alaska Interesting
(01:53):
that they didn't have Californiaon that list.
I don't know what the date isof these questions Copyright
2019, so perhaps it's a littleout of date.
You'll have to let me know ifyou agree with the answer.
What state has the most potsmokers in the US Oregon,
washington or Alaska?
And if you answered Alaska, youwould be correct.
(02:15):
Congratulations on your potknowledge.
Very interesting that they alsodidn't have states like
California or Colorado.
I wonder if that's changedsince these cards were printed.
So let's get into today's recipe, because why not?
We'll just get right into it.
(02:35):
Why protein pancakes?
Recently I have done recipessuch as the wonderful chicken
carnitas tacos, as the recipewas gifted to me from Adam of
your Canna Chef.
I've also done curry ketchupfrom the Willie and Annie
Nelson's Cannabis Cookbook,which was fantastic.
(02:56):
I've actually been eating quitea bit of curry ketchup lately.
I just finished it off a coupledays ago and I can't really
think any further back than thatwithout actually having to look
it up.
But it just seems like theseprotein high protein pancakes
are not really on any kind oftheme, and that would be correct
.
So why protein pancakes?
(03:17):
I don't know about you, but Ilove a good pancake stack, but I
don't eat them too oftenbecause traditional pancakes,
while they are delicious, arepretty carb heavy and they
really do leave me feelingsluggish.
And this is something I tend toeat on the weekends, where you
know you have a little bit moretime, you're not having to rush
off to work or anything likethat.
(03:38):
The last thing I want to do iseat a delicious stack of
pancakes and feel like I have tohave a nap before I get
anything else.
I shouldn't say done, but likeget out of the house, run some
errands, see friends, any ofthose things.
Recently I have beenexperimenting with protein
pancakes, and really no, for noother reason than the fact that
Sunday morning would roll aroundand Sunday morning I love a
(04:01):
slow Sunday morning and I put ona podcast and I'll find a
protein pancake recipe because Imost other days of the week, I
eat, I drink a smoothie in themorning for breakfast.
It has protein in it becauseI'm trying to get that protein
content up, or protein intake up, which I find very difficult to
(04:22):
do, but it is just how I liketo start my mornings.
I have this protein shake with,you know, some fruits and
vegetables in it as well, andthe creatine and some other
things, and it's it's reallygood.
It tastes good, it keeps mefull for a long time.
I'm getting a lot of protein.
On Sunday mornings, when I hadthis extra time I have the house
to myself, it's, you know, aslower morning.
(04:45):
The last few weeks I've beenplaying around with making
protein pancakes because Iwanted pancakes but I didn't
want the sluggishness and I alsodidn't want to miss out on that
protein intake that I wasgetting with the smoothie.
So I started looking up some ofthese recipes.
Now, of course, infusing themwith cannabis takes them to the
next level and it's a great wayto get your cannabinoids in
while enjoying a nice heartySunday morning meal or whenever
(05:08):
you happen to eat them in yourhouse.
And the recipe that I finallysettled on turned out really
good in terms of texture andtaste, which was important to me
because I found some recipes.
There's a few.
Obviously, if you look up highprotein pancakes online, you'll
find all kinds of them, but someof them just didn't have that
same texture and consistency asa regular pancake and I wanted
(05:29):
to find something as close tothe real thing as possible,
because they are a little bitdifferent.
They do taste a little bitdifferent than a traditional
pancake.
So for the one that I found,essentially you do need quite a
few ingredients, but they're alleasy ingredients that most
people have in their cupboard,with the exception of, maybe,
the protein powder, if you'renot someone who's already
(05:50):
consuming protein powder.
But it calls for rolled oatswhich you're going to blend into
a flour.
So basically, you need like oatflour.
Maybe you have that on handalready, but if you don't, you
can just blend that up in yourblender for like 30 seconds.
30 seconds and voila, oat flour.
So there's not really a need togo out and buy it separately.
You need vanilla, proteinpowder, coconut flour.
(06:13):
It only calls for a tablespoon.
It just so happened that I hadcocoa or coconut flour in my
cupboard, because I have avariety of flours in my cupboard
actually for just from doing alot of baking over the years, so
I just happen to have some, butI'm sure if you had to
substitute something else, itwould probably work.
Similarly, you're only needinga tablespoon, so I mean,
(06:36):
probably regular flour wouldalso work if that's all you have
on hand.
You need baking powder,cinnamon, salt, half a medium
ripe banana.
So these are high proteinbanana pancakes.
That banana did shine throughan egg and some milk just a
quarter cup.
So you just need a little bit.
Now I did find other recipesthat called for yogurt instead
(06:58):
of milk.
Quite a few of them call forsomething like yogurt, but I
don't tend to buy yogurt veryoften.
Sometimes I make it here andthere, but I don't tend to buy
yogurt very often.
Sometimes I make it here andthere, but I don't tend to buy
it.
And my dad, with whom I live ifyou didn't already know, a man
in his 90s loves milk.
Yes, so of course I went forthe milk, because there's always
(07:18):
some in the fridge.
He loves nothing better thansitting down with a glass of
cold milk.
That is not a habit we share.
Oftentimes, if I'm at home andI've made dinner, he'll say do
you want dessert?
And a lot of times that dessertmight be like just strawberries
, and he always asks me, eventhough every time I say no,
would you like milk on yourstrawberries?
(07:40):
Now, if it was like acompletely full fat, like full
heavy cream, maybe the answerwould be different, but I'm just
not much of a milk drinker.
So so those are the rest ofthose, the ingredients that you
will need for this recipeNothing particularly difficult
to find, which is what I lovedabout it as well, because when I
decided to make this recipe oneSunday it's not like I went out
(08:01):
and got made sure I had thisstuff ahead of time I just did
happen to have everything onhand and, of course, once you're
done, you're going to top itwith maple syrup, bananas,
berries, chocolate chips, nutbutters, whatever it is that you
enjoy.
I've also seen people put jam ontheir pancakes.
Instead of maple syrup, Ialways put butter, and for this
(08:23):
particular instance, this iswhere you're going to infuse
your pancakes, which is anotherreason why I like doing pancakes
as an infused meal, because ifyou're eating them with somebody
who doesn't want to be dosed,then it's very easy not to dose
them.
So the actual recipe itselfdoesn't have the cannabis in it,
just so we're clear.
(08:45):
I mean you could if you wanted,if you wanted to be extra, you
could infuse the milk and usethat in the pancakes if you so
chose.
But that seems like a littlelike a lot of extra work when
you can use an infused butter,an infused pat of butter or an
infused syrup for these pancakes, which is the direction I would
go, because, like I said, ifyou're eating this with people
(09:07):
and they don't want to be dosed,it's super easy to not just
have regular maple syrup orregular butter on hand as well.
I have done pancakes for thisshow quite some time ago.
I can't.
I should have looked up beforeI started recording when that
was, and I think that's what Idid for those as well.
It was a traditional flourpancake make you fall asleep
recipe.
If I was smart, I would saythat you don't need don't need
(09:30):
to infuse the pancakesthemselves, but the toppings
that you put on them.
So, essentially, how do youmake pancakes?
Well, if you don't already know,you mix your dry ingredients
together and then, in anotherbowl, you mix your wet
ingredients together.
In this case, you're mashingthe banana first and then you
add all the rest of the wetingredients and you just mix
(09:50):
them all together and then youcombine the wet and dry
ingredients.
I usually like to mix themfinely in a bowl that has a bit
of a spout on them so it'seasier to dispense into the pan
when you're ready to actuallymake the pancakes.
These pancakes turned out onthe drier side.
If you find that the batter istoo thick, you can always add a
little bit extra milk if youneed to and you're going to heat
(10:11):
your skillet over medium-lowheat on your stove.
I sprayed my pan with somecooking spray and then you just
pour the batter into the pan,cook them for a couple minutes,
flip them another minute or so.
You know you've made pancakesbefore.
Who hasn't made pancakes before?
And that's it.
That's why I also like it, so Idon't have to wait forever.
These came together prettyquickly so I didn't have to wait
forever to get my.
(10:32):
Really what I was looking forwas a fix of infused honey or,
sorry, infused maple syrup,because I love maple syrup and
I've been really not findingexcuses to eat it because I've
been trying to maybe rein in thesweet tooth a little bit.
I have been known from time totime to take a swig of maple
syrup right out of the jug.
I don't do that very often, butif I'm just being honest here,
(10:55):
that's all.
Maybe you've done somethingsimilar.
And what I also ended up doingis I would cook a couple of
pancakes.
I know this is maybe not superefficient, but I was eating them
by myself.
Cook a couple of pancakes.
They're pretty small and itmade about five pancakes, I
think, in the end, which was theperfect amount.
And because they're not reallyflour heavy, they don't make you
(11:17):
feel sluggish, and that's whatI really enjoyed about them.
So I cook a couple of pancakesand then take the pan off the
heat and then enjoy them whilethey were still hot and then
cook up another couple.
So that's how I did it.
Of course, how I've often donethem before is I've preheated
the oven on a lower temperatureand then just kept them warm on
a plate in the oven until theywere ready to be consumed by all
(11:39):
who was consuming pancakes.
But I was like why wait?
Why do I need to wait?
You are going to wait untilthere's a few little bubbles on
those pancakes before you flipthem.
But that's just generally howpancakes are made.
The recipe in question did saythat you wouldn't see as many
bubbles as you would in aregular pancake, and that was
(12:00):
accurate, but these were reallyeasy to make.
Once you're all done, you justgive it the pat of infused
butter or the drizzle of infusedmaple syrup, if that's the
route that you're going, or, ofcourse, you can combine the two
if you have a higher tolerance.
If that's the route that you'regoing, or, of course, you can
combine the two if you have ahigher tolerance, or that's what
you want to do, there's, ofcourse, different ways you can
infuse these.
I think that's the easiest wayto do it.
(12:22):
You could also add freshberries along with it.
They do have the banana flavors, just keep that in mind, but
things like bananas andraspberries, for instance, would
pair really nicely together, orblueberries or whatever.
I didn't do that.
If I had them on hand, Iprobably would have.
Now let's talk dosing for asecond.
Of course, the potency is goingto depend on how strong your
infusion is, and if you're newto edibles or you're unsure
(12:43):
about your dose, start with lessis more.
I mean, you probably hear thatover and over and over again,
and there is a reason for that,because, despite all the
warnings, all the cannabiscookbooks that I've ever picked
up or ever read, always say,always have some anecdotal story
about how somebody consumededibles and didn't start with a
(13:06):
low dose or had that theseedibles ain't shit experience or
moment and then ate more whenthey really shouldn't have.
If you are uncertain, thenstart with a lower dose.
Hopefully you're using atopping that has been dosed
already and you have like ageneral idea.
You can start with that pat ofbutter, knowing how strong it is
(13:26):
, and then go from there.
And then, of course, if youwant more pancakes, you can
always use non-infused butter aswell, and that's really it.
I mean, pancakes are delicious,but I've really been enjoying
making these on Sunday mornings,when I have a house to myself
and it's nice and quiet and I'mlistening to some music or a
podcast and I can look out thewindow and see the birds
flitting about or potentiallythe squirrels trying to get into
the bird feeder, and it's justsuch a relaxed way to start a
(13:48):
Sunday morning, and yet you'restill getting in that protein.
So this is for some of youathletes out there as well, and
if you haven't heard thatepisode yet with Dr Whitney Algo
, where she talks about cannabisand exercise, check that one
out while you're making yourpancakes and then you get a
double dose of information.
So, to recap, if you don't haveprotein powder on hand because
it's not really something thatyou use, you can go to the store
(14:11):
and instead of having to buy anentire jug.
They often come in smallersizes as well, but sometimes you
can find like like individualservings or something like that
in the stores.
I haven't really looked at themin a while, but I've seen them
before.
So if you're traveling, forinstance, and you just want to
bring like a serving or two withyou, then you could always pick
something like that up.
You are going to make thesepancakes following the recipe
(14:31):
and then you're going to infusethem by changing up the toppings
.
If you have a pancake recipethat you love and you'd like me
to try, let me know.
Just to give you an idea ofwhat is coming up, I have an
interview coming up with VanessaLavorato and with Michael
DeVilliers I will have to doublecheck if I'm saying his name
(14:54):
correctly.
I'm excited about that and, ofcourse, there's lots of fun
things happening in the Bite MeCannabis Club, so if you're
interested, check it out.
I do have a challenge right nowfor the month of March, where
you can try making sour yuzudrops.
They're actually quite easy andyet I've failed to master them
anytime that I've tried makingthem, even though they don't
require any fancy ingredients,super fancy equipment.
(15:17):
I mean, you need a thermometerof some kind, preferably a candy
thermometer, I guess but likeyou don't need anything fancy,
and yet they have eluded me.
Anybody can join that challengeif that's something that sounds
interesting to you, and I dohave a prize for that one as
well at the end of the month.
So I just want to say thank youto everyone who is listening.
Please share this episode withsomebody that you think might
enjoy it.
(15:37):
Sharing the show is probablythe best way to get people to
find out about it.
If you are so inclined, pleaseconsider leaving a five-star
review for Bite Me, the Showabout edibles.
Oh, and something new that'sover on the website is I do have

Please do let me know, like Isaid, where you're listening
from and if you have a favoriteepisode, I would love to hear it
(01:13):
.
Now, before we get into the highprotein pancakes, I thought I
would do a little fun triviaquestion because why not?
I have this deck of cards herethat I'm using Stoner Trivia
race to 420.
I'm randomly choosing a cardout of the deck and today the
(01:33):
question is a knowledge questionwhat state has the most pot
smokers in the US?
This might be up for debate,but the answers that give
potential answers Oregon,washington, alaska Interesting
(01:53):
that they didn't have Californiaon that list.
I don't know what the date isof these questions Copyright
2019, so perhaps it's a littleout of date.
You'll have to let me know ifyou agree with the answer.
What state has the most potsmokers in the US Oregon,
washington or Alaska?
And if you answered Alaska, youwould be correct.
(02:15):
Congratulations on your potknowledge.
Very interesting that they alsodidn't have states like
California or Colorado.
I wonder if that's changedsince these cards were printed.
So let's get into today's recipe, because why not?
We'll just get right into it.
(02:35):
Why protein pancakes?
Recently I have done recipessuch as the wonderful chicken
carnitas tacos, as the recipewas gifted to me from Adam of
your Canna Chef.
I've also done curry ketchupfrom the Willie and Annie
Nelson's Cannabis Cookbook,which was fantastic.
(02:56):
I've actually been eating quitea bit of curry ketchup lately.
I just finished it off a coupledays ago and I can't really
think any further back than thatwithout actually having to look
it up.
But it just seems like theseprotein high protein pancakes
are not really on any kind oftheme, and that would be correct
.
So why protein pancakes?
(03:17):
I don't know about you, but Ilove a good pancake stack, but I
don't eat them too oftenbecause traditional pancakes,
while they are delicious, arepretty carb heavy and they
really do leave me feelingsluggish.
And this is something I tend toeat on the weekends, where you
know you have a little bit moretime, you're not having to rush
off to work or anything likethat.
(03:38):
The last thing I want to do iseat a delicious stack of
pancakes and feel like I have tohave a nap before I get
anything else.
I shouldn't say done, but likeget out of the house, run some
errands, see friends, any ofthose things.
Recently I have beenexperimenting with protein
pancakes, and really no, for noother reason than the fact that
Sunday morning would roll aroundand Sunday morning I love a
(04:01):
slow Sunday morning and I put ona podcast and I'll find a
protein pancake recipe because Imost other days of the week, I
eat, I drink a smoothie in themorning for breakfast.
It has protein in it becauseI'm trying to get that protein
content up, or protein intake up, which I find very difficult to
(04:22):
do, but it is just how I liketo start my mornings.
I have this protein shake with,you know, some fruits and
vegetables in it as well, andthe creatine and some other
things, and it's it's reallygood.
It tastes good, it keeps mefull for a long time.
I'm getting a lot of protein.
On Sunday mornings, when I hadthis extra time I have the house
to myself, it's, you know, aslower morning.
(04:45):
The last few weeks I've beenplaying around with making
protein pancakes because Iwanted pancakes but I didn't
want the sluggishness and I alsodidn't want to miss out on that
protein intake that I wasgetting with the smoothie.
So I started looking up some ofthese recipes.
Now, of course, infusing themwith cannabis takes them to the
next level and it's a great wayto get your cannabinoids in
while enjoying a nice heartySunday morning meal or whenever
(05:08):
you happen to eat them in yourhouse.
And the recipe that I finallysettled on turned out really
good in terms of texture andtaste, which was important to me
because I found some recipes.
There's a few.
Obviously, if you look up highprotein pancakes online, you'll
find all kinds of them, but someof them just didn't have that
same texture and consistency asa regular pancake and I wanted
(05:29):
to find something as close tothe real thing as possible,
because they are a little bitdifferent.
They do taste a little bitdifferent than a traditional
pancake.
So for the one that I found,essentially you do need quite a
few ingredients, but they're alleasy ingredients that most
people have in their cupboard,with the exception of, maybe,
the protein powder, if you'renot someone who's already
(05:50):
consuming protein powder.
But it calls for rolled oatswhich you're going to blend into
a flour.
So basically, you need like oatflour.
Maybe you have that on handalready, but if you don't, you
can just blend that up in yourblender for like 30 seconds.
30 seconds and voila, oat flour.
So there's not really a need togo out and buy it separately.
You need vanilla, proteinpowder, coconut flour.
(06:13):
It only calls for a tablespoon.
It just so happened that I hadcocoa or coconut flour in my
cupboard, because I have avariety of flours in my cupboard
actually for just from doing alot of baking over the years, so
I just happen to have some, butI'm sure if you had to
substitute something else, itwould probably work.
Similarly, you're only needinga tablespoon, so I mean,
(06:36):
probably regular flour wouldalso work if that's all you have
on hand.
You need baking powder,cinnamon, salt, half a medium
ripe banana.
So these are high proteinbanana pancakes.
That banana did shine throughan egg and some milk just a
quarter cup.
So you just need a little bit.
Now I did find other recipesthat called for yogurt instead
(06:58):
of milk.
Quite a few of them call forsomething like yogurt, but I
don't tend to buy yogurt veryoften.
Sometimes I make it here andthere, but I don't tend to buy
yogurt very often.
Sometimes I make it here andthere, but I don't tend to buy
it.
And my dad, with whom I live ifyou didn't already know, a man
in his 90s loves milk.
Yes, so of course I went forthe milk, because there's always
(07:18):
some in the fridge.
He loves nothing better thansitting down with a glass of
cold milk.
That is not a habit we share.
Oftentimes, if I'm at home andI've made dinner, he'll say do
you want dessert?
And a lot of times that dessertmight be like just strawberries
, and he always asks me, eventhough every time I say no,
would you like milk on yourstrawberries?
(07:40):
Now, if it was like acompletely full fat, like full
heavy cream, maybe the answerwould be different, but I'm just
not much of a milk drinker.
So so those are the rest ofthose, the ingredients that you
will need for this recipeNothing particularly difficult
to find, which is what I lovedabout it as well, because when I
decided to make this recipe oneSunday it's not like I went out
(08:01):
and got made sure I had thisstuff ahead of time I just did
happen to have everything onhand and, of course, once you're
done, you're going to top itwith maple syrup, bananas,
berries, chocolate chips, nutbutters, whatever it is that you
enjoy.
I've also seen people put jam ontheir pancakes.
Instead of maple syrup, Ialways put butter, and for this
(08:23):
particular instance, this iswhere you're going to infuse
your pancakes, which is anotherreason why I like doing pancakes
as an infused meal, because ifyou're eating them with somebody
who doesn't want to be dosed,then it's very easy not to dose
them.
So the actual recipe itselfdoesn't have the cannabis in it,
just so we're clear.
(08:45):
I mean you could if you wanted,if you wanted to be extra, you
could infuse the milk and usethat in the pancakes if you so
chose.
But that seems like a littlelike a lot of extra work when
you can use an infused butter,an infused pat of butter or an
infused syrup for these pancakes, which is the direction I would
go, because, like I said, ifyou're eating this with people
(09:07):
and they don't want to be dosed,it's super easy to not just
have regular maple syrup orregular butter on hand as well.
I have done pancakes for thisshow quite some time ago.
I can't.
I should have looked up beforeI started recording when that
was, and I think that's what Idid for those as well.
It was a traditional flourpancake make you fall asleep
recipe.
If I was smart, I would saythat you don't need don't need
(09:30):
to infuse the pancakesthemselves, but the toppings
that you put on them.
So, essentially, how do youmake pancakes?
Well, if you don't already know,you mix your dry ingredients
together and then, in anotherbowl, you mix your wet
ingredients together.
In this case, you're mashingthe banana first and then you
add all the rest of the wetingredients and you just mix
(09:50):
them all together and then youcombine the wet and dry
ingredients.
I usually like to mix themfinely in a bowl that has a bit
of a spout on them so it'seasier to dispense into the pan
when you're ready to actuallymake the pancakes.
These pancakes turned out onthe drier side.
If you find that the batter istoo thick, you can always add a
little bit extra milk if youneed to and you're going to heat
(10:11):
your skillet over medium-lowheat on your stove.
I sprayed my pan with somecooking spray and then you just
pour the batter into the pan,cook them for a couple minutes,
flip them another minute or so.
You know you've made pancakesbefore.
Who hasn't made pancakes before?
And that's it.
That's why I also like it, so Idon't have to wait forever.
These came together prettyquickly so I didn't have to wait
forever to get my.
(10:32):
Really what I was looking forwas a fix of infused honey or,
sorry, infused maple syrup,because I love maple syrup and
I've been really not findingexcuses to eat it because I've
been trying to maybe rein in thesweet tooth a little bit.
I have been known from time totime to take a swig of maple
syrup right out of the jug.
I don't do that very often, butif I'm just being honest here,
(10:55):
that's all.
Maybe you've done somethingsimilar.
And what I also ended up doingis I would cook a couple of
pancakes.
I know this is maybe not superefficient, but I was eating them
by myself.
Cook a couple of pancakes.
They're pretty small and itmade about five pancakes, I
think, in the end, which was theperfect amount.
And because they're not reallyflour heavy, they don't make you
(11:17):
feel sluggish, and that's whatI really enjoyed about them.
So I cook a couple of pancakesand then take the pan off the
heat and then enjoy them whilethey were still hot and then
cook up another couple.
So that's how I did it.
Of course, how I've often donethem before is I've preheated
the oven on a lower temperatureand then just kept them warm on
a plate in the oven until theywere ready to be consumed by all
(11:39):
who was consuming pancakes.
But I was like why wait?
Why do I need to wait?
You are going to wait untilthere's a few little bubbles on
those pancakes before you flipthem.
But that's just generally howpancakes are made.
The recipe in question did saythat you wouldn't see as many
bubbles as you would in aregular pancake, and that was
(12:00):
accurate, but these were reallyeasy to make.
Once you're all done, you justgive it the pat of infused
butter or the drizzle of infusedmaple syrup, if that's the
route that you're going, or, ofcourse, you can combine the two
if you have a higher tolerance.
If that's the route that you'regoing, or, of course, you can
combine the two if you have ahigher tolerance, or that's what
you want to do, there's, ofcourse, different ways you can
infuse these.
I think that's the easiest wayto do it.
(12:22):
You could also add freshberries along with it.
They do have the banana flavors, just keep that in mind, but
things like bananas andraspberries, for instance, would
pair really nicely together, orblueberries or whatever.
I didn't do that.
If I had them on hand, Iprobably would have.
Now let's talk dosing for asecond.
Of course, the potency is goingto depend on how strong your
infusion is, and if you're newto edibles or you're unsure
(12:43):
about your dose, start with lessis more.
I mean, you probably hear thatover and over and over again,
and there is a reason for that,because, despite all the
warnings, all the cannabiscookbooks that I've ever picked
up or ever read, always say,always have some anecdotal story
about how somebody consumededibles and didn't start with a
(13:06):
low dose or had that theseedibles ain't shit experience or
moment and then ate more whenthey really shouldn't have.
If you are uncertain, thenstart with a lower dose.
Hopefully you're using atopping that has been dosed
already and you have like ageneral idea.
You can start with that pat ofbutter, knowing how strong it is
(13:26):
, and then go from there.
And then, of course, if youwant more pancakes, you can
always use non-infused butter aswell, and that's really it.
I mean, pancakes are delicious,but I've really been enjoying
making these on Sunday mornings,when I have a house to myself
and it's nice and quiet and I'mlistening to some music or a
podcast and I can look out thewindow and see the birds
flitting about or potentiallythe squirrels trying to get into
the bird feeder, and it's justsuch a relaxed way to start a
(13:48):
Sunday morning, and yet you'restill getting in that protein.
So this is for some of youathletes out there as well, and
if you haven't heard thatepisode yet with Dr Whitney Algo
, where she talks about cannabisand exercise, check that one
out while you're making yourpancakes and then you get a
double dose of information.
So, to recap, if you don't haveprotein powder on hand because
it's not really something thatyou use, you can go to the store
(14:11):
and instead of having to buy anentire jug.
They often come in smallersizes as well, but sometimes you
can find like like individualservings or something like that
in the stores.
I haven't really looked at themin a while, but I've seen them
before.
So if you're traveling, forinstance, and you just want to
bring like a serving or two withyou, then you could always pick
something like that up.
You are going to make thesepancakes following the recipe
(14:31):
and then you're going to infusethem by changing up the toppings
.
If you have a pancake recipethat you love and you'd like me
to try, let me know.
Just to give you an idea ofwhat is coming up, I have an
interview coming up with VanessaLavorato and with Michael
DeVilliers I will have to doublecheck if I'm saying his name
(14:54):
correctly.
I'm excited about that and, ofcourse, there's lots of fun
things happening in the Bite MeCannabis Club, so if you're
interested, check it out.
I do have a challenge right nowfor the month of March, where
you can try making sour yuzudrops.
They're actually quite easy andyet I've failed to master them
anytime that I've tried makingthem, even though they don't
require any fancy ingredients,super fancy equipment.
(15:17):
I mean, you need a thermometerof some kind, preferably a candy
thermometer, I guess but likeyou don't need anything fancy,
and yet they have eluded me.
Anybody can join that challengeif that's something that sounds
interesting to you, and I dohave a prize for that one as
well at the end of the month.
So I just want to say thank youto everyone who is listening.
Please share this episode withsomebody that you think might
enjoy it.
(15:37):
Sharing the show is probablythe best way to get people to
find out about it.
If you are so inclined, pleaseconsider leaving a five-star
review for Bite Me, the Showabout edibles.
Oh, and something new that'sover on the website is I do have
a new merch shop.
It is brand new.
You'll find it under the shoptab on the website.
I've just started out with afew items, so check that out if
(15:59):
you're.
If you're interested.
I think that's it for this week, my friends.
I hope you will enjoy arelaxing morning sometime this
week and if you do think, try,think about trying these high
protein pancakes.
And until next week, my friends, stay high.
