- 3 tbsp avocado oil (or another high-heat oil)
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels in an even layer and cover with a lid. Once the kernels start popping, shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the honey, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until well combined. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drizzle the honey mixture over the popped popcorn. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving to help the honey mixture set and stick better.
