Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 servings

Ingredients

For plain popcorn:

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 teaspoons sea salt

For Cinnamon-Sugar Popcorn:

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon coconut sugar

For Lemon-Chive Popcorn:

2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives

For Nacho Popcorn:

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne

For Honey-Nut Popcorn:

2 tablespoons almond butter
2 tablespoons honey (soften it in a microwave first)

For Chocolate Trail-Mix Popcorn:

2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons crushed pistachios
2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan set over medium-high heat, warm a couple of popcorn kernels with the coconut oil. Put a lid on the saucepan and wait for the initial kernels to pop. This lets you know the heat is just right. When the pan is hot enough, add the remaining kernels and replace the lid on the pan.

    Step 2

    Carefully shake the saucepan as the kernels pop. When they are all popped, transfer the popcorn to a bowl and toss it with the salt. Add any of the extra flavor options that you and your friends might like!
