Sweet n' Spicy Chipotle and Kid-Friendly "Cheesy" Popcorn

#1 Sweet & Spicy Chipotle Popcorn
With a sweet, smokey and buttery flavor, this popcorn really curbs the BBQ chip cravings. It's a tad on the spicy side, too, which I love, but your little ones may not. Ingredients- 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels, organic & GMO-free
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 6 tbsp Butter, unsalted (preferably grass fed)
- 1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder (can sub for Chili Powder or use both)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cane Sugar, Organic
- 1/2 tsp Salt (quality salt, like pink himalayan rock salt)
Preheat the oven to 350.
Melt coconut oil in popcorn maker (I like this kind) or large pot.
If you're using a pot, melt the oil on medium heat, then add the popcorn and cover with a lid. The popcorn is finished when there's about 10 seconds between pops!
Immediately remove from heat to prevent burning the popcorn, and transfer to a bowl.
In the same pot, melt the butter, then add all of the remaining ingredients.
Pour spicy-butter over to popcorn and toss to coat.
Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet, and bake for 5 min.
Let partially cool and store in an air-tight container, or serve right away!
Will stay fresh for a couple weeks.

#2 Kid-Friendly "Cheesy" Popcorn
I equally love this cheesy-tasting popcorn. It's nice to have the variety because the two are so different. There actually isn't any cheese in this recipe, but I doubt you could tell! The secret, is nutritional yeast (I use this kind), which you can usually find in the baking aisle. Nutritional yeast has a mild, cheesy flavor, especially when mixed with butter and salt, and is rich in B vitamins. Ingredients- 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels, organic & GMO-free
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 6 tbsp Butter, unsalted (preferably grass fed)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (make your own!)
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder (make your own!)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (quality salt, like pink himalayan rock salt)
- 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
Preheat the oven to 350.
Melt coconut oil in popcorn maker (I like this kind) or large pot.
If you're using a pot, melt the oil on medium heat, then add the popcorn and cover with a lid. The popcorn is finished when there's about 10 seconds between pops!
Immediately remove from heat to prevent burning the popcorn, and transfer to a bowl.
In the same pot, melt the butter, then add garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
Pour butter mixture over popcorn, toss to coat, then sprinkle nutritional yeast and toss again.
Spread the popcorn out on a baking sheet, and bake for 5 min.
Let partially cool and store in an air-tight container, or serve right away!
Will stay fresh for a couple weeks.
