Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener (granulated)
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for additional flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the coconut oil to the pot and let it melt completely.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the unsalted popcorn kernels to the pot, covering the bottom in a single layer. Immediately cover the pot with the lid.

Step 4

Shake the pot gently every few seconds to prevent burning and allow all kernels to pop evenly.

Step 5

As the popping slows down to 1-2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat but keep the lid on for an additional minute to catch any remaining pops.

Step 6

Pour the popcorn into a large, clean bowl and set aside.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the erythritol sweetener, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (2-3 minutes).

Step 8

If desired, stir in the butter at this stage to enhance richness.

Step 9

Drizzle the sweet mixture over the prepared popcorn, tossing gently to coat the kernels evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sea salt over the popcorn to achieve the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb sweet and salty popcorn. Store leftovers (if any) in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
