Buttery Healthy Popcorn

maryd523 · August 2011

I have one of those Stir-Crazy popcorn makers where you stick your oil and raw popcorn in, plug it in, and then flip it over once it's done. The standard recipe is 1/3 cup popcorn with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

I've recently been hearing and reading about the amazing health benefits of cocount oil, so I got some Organic Extra Vigrin Coconut oil from Amazon ($7) and have been giving it to and smearing it on both my dog, Cooper, and myself.

Tonight I made popcorn using 1/3 cup popcorn (175 calories) and 1 teaspoon (39 calories) of coconut oil. OMG!! It's so buttery and oily, I am sitting here with surges of guilt as I forget and then relief as I remember again. 214 calories for a huge bowl of buttery, movie-tasty popcorn. Lots of fiber, too.

So did you pop the corn in the coconut oil or pour it on after it was popped? It does sound yummy....LOVE POPCORN!

oops...I read it again - you popped it in the oil

I make mine this way too! It is soo yummy- and for a "cheesy" type of popcorn flavor- add a good Nutritional Yeast (one that does not have the sprayed on "fortified" synthetic vitamins). I have found that this is really hard to find- if you cant find a place near you- there is a place a few hours from me that has online ordering. ( No, I do not get any proceeds for sharing this info- but i tell the owner that i should- cause I have never had a better tasting N.Y.!!!)
