Dulce de Leche Weed Banana Caramel Cupcakes make great edibles treats or DIY cannabis gifts from your kitchen.
Rich caramel blends perfectly with bananas in these indulgent cannabis cupcakes, topped with a creamy Dulce de Leche Icing in one of my all-time favorite marijuana recipes.
Use decarboxylated Kief or Hash to medicate this recipe. Find more information on how to make and cook with kief and hash at this link.
Hash and Kief
Freezer Friendly Cannabis Cupcakes
Store baked cupcakes in the freezer, either frosted or unfrosted. A gallon size zip-top plastic storage bag makes a good container. Make 2 layers, separated by a sheet of waxed paper, then remove just the amount you need whenever you want a treat. If you choose to frost later you can freeze covered plastic containers of icing separately. Thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before frosting cakes. (Hint: Cakes are easier to frost when frozen). Let frosted cupcake sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before serving.
A note about the Dosage for the Dulce de Leche Weed Banana Caramel Cupcakes recipe
This recipe will have about 40 mg THC per serving IF you used decarboxylated average kief (40% THC). To adjust the dosage up or down for your personal needs, and to reflect the strength of the kief you are cooking with, be sure to take my FREE 10 minute online Dosing Class that will teach you how to do it, or use my handy dosage calculator tools that do all the math for you (see below).

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper cupcake liners in 14 muffin tin cups.Â
- In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and kief or hash. Stir to combine well. Set aside.

I’ve got already made (and frozen) dosed caramels. Is there any way to use them instead? I know little to none about baking, but I do like weed.
Look for recipes that use caramels as an ingredient (Kraft and other companies that make the candies have lots of recipes on their website), then substitute your medicated caramels. I don’t think it would work in this particular recipe, but there are lots of recipes from caramel apples to cookies that do use them as an ingredient.
