Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 0.25 cup granola clusters
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover with a lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning, and continue cooking until the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately.
Pour the freshly popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with honey (or maple syrup) while it’s still warm.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and sea salt over the popcorn, then carefully toss to distribute evenly.
Add the dried cranberries, chopped nuts, granola clusters, and shredded coconut (if using). Toss again to combine.
Serve immediately as a delightful breakfast treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
