Cooking with Cannabinoids: Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Oaksterdam hosted a live webinar with the authors of “The Cannabinoid Cookbook: Transform Your Health Using Herbs and Spices from Your Kitchen.” As part of the event, Chef Daniel Green and Dr. Joseph Feuerstein shared their recipe for Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.

Apples contain fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin K along with small amounts of vitamins A, B, and E. Apples aid with weight loss due to their high fiber and water content, increasing the sense of stomach fullness and satiety. One of the apple’s best features is that is contains the soluble fiber pectin. Pectin reduces both cholesterol and heart disease and is great for the microbiome within each of us. Add some antioxidants like polyphenols and a helping of cannabinoid-rich cinnamon, and you have a healthy and nutritious spin on the all-American pancake.
