Coconut Oil Popcorn Recipe

Customarily, people use salted butter in making their popcorn. But have you ever tried using coconut oil as its substitute? It contains medium-chain triglycerides, and surprisingly, 84 percent of its calories are made of saturated fats. It’s not only a good choice but a healthier option for making popcorn.

Making your homemade popcorn is a good idea. You know what you’re adding to it. It’s also cheaper than that ready-to-eat butter-flavored popcorn found in grocery stores. But, to tell you honestly, it can be a bit tricky if you’re starting to make your popcorn.

For the love of popcorn, here is a recipe to make coconut oil popcorn a piece of cake!

Make sure that you get everything that you need. So, popcorn chef! Gather the following ingredients to make that sweet, coconut-flavored popcorn you’ve always wanted!

• 1/2 cup of popping corn kernels (you can opt to buy organic ones, they’re healthier!)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• Rock salt to give it a delectable taste

Here is How to Make Coconut Oil Popcorn

1. Now that you’re all equipped for the show grab a pot. Make sure it’s dry before using as you don’t want some oil-sputtering experience. Put the coconut oil in the pot and heat it over medium heat until it melts. It’s best to maintain the temperature to medium heat. If you go over the desired temperature, you’ll have popcorn that’s hard to chew because the kernels were heated quickly and didn’t pop completely.
2. Once the coconut oil is entirely melted, let’s ensure that the pot is sufficiently heated for popping the kernels. To do this, put 3-4 test kernels in the pot and wait until they pop.
3. Once the kernels have popped, add the remaining seeds properly in an even layer. You can now cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Please wait 30 seconds so the kernels will have the same temperature before they return for healing. By doing this technique, you’ll be assured that all the kernels pop almost simultaneously.
4. After 30 seconds, return the pot to the stovetop for heating. You’ll soon hear the popcorn in action! When the kernels start popping, shake the pan gently to ensure they’ll get all pop. If you like your popcorn crispy and dry, try to keep the pot’s lid slightly open. It will release the accumulated steam inside the pot.
5. As soon as the popping slows down, you can remove the pot from the stove and gently shake it for about 20 seconds. It ensures that no popcorn will get burnt.
6. Now, popcorn chef! Grab a bowl and transfer the freshly made popcorn into the bowl. Add some salt to the popcorn to give it that flavorful salty taste.
7. There you go, popcorn lover! All you have to do now is watch your favorite movie or TV show while munching over the sweet-smelling coconut oil popcorn.
