Ingredients
- 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot with a lid over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Shake the pot gently to ensure the kernels are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Pop the kernels, shaking the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat once popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops. Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Drizzle the yogurt mixture over the popped popcorn, gently tossing to coat evenly.
Step 6
Spread the coated popcorn on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set for 10-15 minutes. For quicker setting, place the sheet in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
Optional: crush the freeze-dried strawberries and sprinkle them over the popcorn for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
