We love kettle corn at my house. My kids go bananas for this stuff whenever I make it. It's so easy and I love that it has some added protein from the nut/seed butter, making this a great, balanced snack.
A great time saving tip for this recipe is to use day old popped popcorn. I will pop a big stockpot full of popcorn in coconut oil and my family enjoys it plain the first night, then I'll use the leftover popcorn to make this yummy cinnamon kettle corn the next day.
I should warn you though; this recipe has the potential to become an addiction, so it probably won't last very long! (At least it doesn't in my house!)
Cinnamon Kettle Corn
10-12 cups popped popcorn
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup nut or seed butter (peanut, almond, and sunflower seed butter all work well)
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cinnamon
15 drops liquid stevia
pinch salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Place popped popcorn in a large bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat oil, nut butter, and honey over low heat and stir until combined. Remove from heat and add cinnamon, stevia, and salt. Stir again.
Pour mixture over popcorn and stir with a large spoon until evenly distributed on popped corn.
Spread popcorn evenly on two prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Store covered or in a plastic bag for up to two days.
