Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is melted, test if it's hot enough by dropping in a single popcorn kernel. If it spins or pops, the oil is ready.
Add all the popcorn kernels to the pot and immediately cover with the lid, leaving a small crack open for steam to escape.
Shake the pot gently every 10-15 seconds to prevent the kernels from burning and to ensure even popping.
Once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and let it sit as the last few kernels pop.
Transfer the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the salt and powdered monk fruit sweetener evenly over the popcorn.
Drizzle the vanilla extract lightly over the top and gently toss the popcorn to coat it evenly with the seasonings.
Serve fresh for the best taste, and enjoy your sugar-free sweet and salty popcorn!
