Cinnamon Toast Healthy Microwave Popcorn

This easy, healthy popcorn has just enough seasonings and coconut oil to add flavor without too many calories. No bags, no chemicals, no mess.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (may reduce or omit)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (or preferred powdered sweetener)

Directions
Supplies needed:
--2.5 to 3 quart microwave-proof bowl. If glass, should be tempered and have a high-heat tolerance.
--Vented lid for bowl.
--small mister for vanilla extract
--shaker/sifter for powdered sugar

Directions:
Put coconut oil, salt, and cinnamon in bowl. Microwave just until oil is melted, 20-30 seconds. Pour popcorn kernels into bowl; stir to coat each kernel with oil mixture. Even out kernels in bottom of bowl. Put vented cover on top and microwave on high for approx. 3-5 minutes, when there are 1-2 second between pops. Microwave times will vary. While still hot, mist popcorn lightly with vanilla extract and sprinkle with powdered sugar; toss and repeat until evenly coated.

Caution: Bowl will get hot; use hot pads or oven mitts.

2-cup portion is approx. 85 calories (3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus)
