Coconut Popcorn

I can't deny how much I love popcorn; I mean, who doesn't? I also like to experiment and make popcorn with different flavors. However, today, I am sharing an easy 3 ingredients coconut popcorn recipe in which I pop the popcorn kernels in coconut oil on the stove.

Coconut Popcorn

I made this delicious Honey Butter Popcorn Recipe a week ago, and it was a hit. Today, I am sharing my latest popcorn recipe, which is my favorite.

Popcorn made from coconut oil tastes like regular popcorn, but with a mild coconut flavour and smell.

Ah, I almost forgot, the recipe is also vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and super delicious!

You won’t believe what an easy recipe you were missing out on all this while!

Coconut Oil Popcorn Ingredients

“See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

• Coconut oil: I believe good quality 100% coconut oil, also referred to as virgin or extra virgin coconut oil on the racks is the best kind to use.
• Popcorn kernels: Just what you have at home. I use yellow kernels.
• Salt: According to your taste and preference.

How to Make Coconut Oil Popcorn?

One: In a large pot, add coconut oil and popcorn kernels over medium high heat, stir then put the lid on.

Two: Once the popcorn starts popping, pick up the pot and start shaking it consistently. In only about 3 to 5 minutes, the popping sounds will slow down.

Three: Once they’ve almost stopped, you can turn off the heat. Now, transfer the popcorn into a large bowl and sprinkle it with some salt.

Ratio Of Coconut Oil To Popcorn Kernels

Add one tablespoon of coconut oil per ¼ cup of un-popped kernels. So, ½ cup of kernels would need two tablespoons of coconut oil.

Once you’ve added both popcorn kernels and coconut oil to the pot you have chosen. Make sure to put your stove on medium heat and cover the pot with a lid.

Expert Tips!

• I recommend choosing a pot that has a handle/handles, so it becomes easier for you to shake once the kernels start popping.
• Choose a pot large enough for the amount of kernel you’re cooking because you don’t want the kernels popping out of the pot and scattering all over your kitchen.
• It’s a good idea to stay in the kitchen whilst the kernels are popping and run another errand so you can pay attention to the pot.

The Ratio Of Unpopped Popcorn To Popped

Just as a reference, ⅛th of a cup or 2 tablespoons of unpopped kernels will amount to 4 whole cups of popped corn. You can use this reference to figure out how many kernels you’d like to place in the pot.
