Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot with a lid over medium heat.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Shake the pot gently to ensure the kernels are evenly distributed.
Pop the kernels, shaking the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat once popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops. Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
Drizzle the yogurt mixture over the popped popcorn, gently tossing to coat evenly.
Spread the coated popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set for 10-15 minutes. For quicker setting, place the sheet in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes.
Optional: crush the freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle them over the popcorn for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
