Heat a large pot or deep saucepan over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Drop a few popcorn kernels into the pot. Once they pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover with a lid.
Gently shake the pot to keep the kernels moving and prevent burning. Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, ground cinnamon, and butter (optional) over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Drizzle the honey-cinnamon mixture over the popcorn, tossing well to evenly coat.
Sprinkle the salt over the popcorn and toss again to distribute.
Let the popcorn cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the coating to set slightly before serving. Enjoy!
