  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 cups air-popped popcorn
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl, removing any unpopped kernels.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and sea salt.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and baking soda. The mixture will foam slightly.
  6. Immediately pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn and gently toss until evenly coated.
  7. Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes for even crispness.
