For popcorn lovers..... Popcorn with Honey and Cinnamon !

Posted by HealthyBites at 7:17 AM

Here's a very tasty, easy, quick, and healthy recipe. As a popcorn lover, I tried different recipes but this one is my favorite. I modified it into a healthier, lighter version of what you get from shops loaded with harmful sugar and fat.

Popcorn itself is a nutritious snack choice, containing more fiber than snacks made with refined flour. In the standard three-cup serving (the size of a small mixing bowl), air-popped popcorn contains just 93 calories and less than 1.5 grams of fat.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 cups of air popped popcorn .... [you will need 2 tbsp of popcorn kernels for that]
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2-1 tbsp sugar [you can do without the sugar for an even more healthier version. It will still taste great ]
• 1-2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

• Air Popping the Popcorn:

If you don't have a microwave, you can do it my way. The way I do it is by simply adding the unpopped kernels inside a non-stick pot
I cover the pot and cook it on low heat. When I hear the popping sound I start shaking the pot every now and then [cover the lid and handles with a cloth, lift the pot up off the stove, and give it a quick shake up, down, left and right]. In no time your popcorn is ready.

• Making the syrup:

1. In a small pan, melt the butter
2. Add honey and sugar
3. Stir till sugar starts to melt
4. Add cinnamon

• Last steps:

1. Add the syrup to the popcorn and stir
2. Serve and enjoy the lovely taste
3. Let me know how you liked it :)
