A healthier spin on this classic snack. Use well sourced ingredients and add some delicious toppings suggested for a nutritional and yummy snack the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1/2 cup Sprouted Popcorn Kernels plus 3-6 kernels for temp checking oil
- 1-4 tsp Favorite Toppings
Buttered Popcorn Topping
- 1/2-1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Topping
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Coconut Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt (optional)
- 1 tsp Nutritional Yeast (optional)
- 1 tsp Collagen (optional)
Instructions
- Using a medium (at least 3 quarts) pan, melt coconut oil over medium low heat.
- Keeping heat on, add 3-6 kernels to hot oil and cover pan with lid.
- Once all kernels have popped, turn heat off. Add ½ cup of kernels to hot oil with heat still off. Place lid back on pan and swirl kernels in oil to evenly coat for about 20-30 seconds.
- Keep lid on pan and turn heat back on to medium-low. Pop kernels until it slows to one pop every 2 seconds or so. You do not want to burn popcorn. Popcorn should pop relatively fast.
- Immediately transfer popcorn to large bowl and add desired toppings while it is still hot.
- Enjoy :)
