Ingredients

  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 jalapenos, seeded and chopped

Caramel Sauce:

  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium high heat in a pot. Add the popcorn kernels and cover with a lid. Shake pot to move kernels a couple times a minute to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down, remove from heat and pour into a bowl.
  • Remove seeds of the jalapenos and finely chop. Sauté jalapenos in a small amount of coconut oil until they begin to soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a small pot, bring maple syrup and coconut oil to a boil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the jalapenos, almond butter, vanilla and salt. Drizzle caramel sauce over the popcorn and toss until evenly coated. Put parchment paper over a sheet tray and spread popcorn over it. Bake for 6-8 minutes at 350 degrees.
