- 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat.

Add the coconut oil and two popcorn kernels. Cover the pot and wait for the test kernels to pop.
Step 3
Once the test kernels pop, remove them and add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot.
Step 4
Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape and shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once the popping sound slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 6
Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and salt. If using, add the ground cinnamon and mix well.
Step 8
Drizzle the maple syrup mixture evenly over the popcorn and toss gently to coat all kernels.
Step 9
Taste and adjust salt as needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat sweet and salty popcorn!
