Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add 1 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot, cover with a lid, and shake gently to coat the kernels in the oil.
Allow the kernels to pop, shaking the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once popping slows to 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Transfer the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of raw honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Heat over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly runny.
Drizzle the honey-vanilla mixture evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to toss and coat the popcorn.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sea salt over the popcorn and toss again to combine.
Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo sweet and salty snack!
