Healthy Snickerdoodle Popcorn Snack

This next treat is a healthy-sweet-tooth-satisfying-snack!! It's low in fat (and what little fat it does contain is the healthy kind from coconuts.) It has natural sugar from maple syrup and natural cinnamon spice. It's a great go-to recipe for a FAST snack as well. It took me only about 5 minutes to make! Not only that, it contains NO dairy, gluten, and it's VEGAN! 

Audrey LOVES this popcorn as well and I feel wonderfully guilt-free giving her a bowl knowing there's only a teaspoon of maple syrup! Try it at your next movie night! You'll love it!

To make 4 servings: 

• 1/2 cup Organic Popcorn
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp Coconut Oil
• 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp 100% Pure Maple Syrup
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)

Tips from jalene: 

I prefer cooking my popcorn in a hot air popper vs. over the stove. While coconut oil is a healthy fat, this method using less oil therefore decreases the fat. 

Also, after my popcorn has popped and the lid to the hot air popper is still hot, I scoop my coconut oil in the top. This allows it to melt without heating in a separate pan. 

I HIGHLY recommend using organic, non-GMO popcorn. Please read HERE for more info.
