How to Make Cinnamon Maple Syrup Popcorn

This maple syrup popcorn recipe is super simple to make with only a few ingredients and a few pans. Most of the time this popcorn will be baking in the oven – to achieve that perfect crunch – which means it will free you up to do other things!

1. First, you will need to pop your popcorn. For this baked vegan popcorn, you will need fresh popped popcorn from the stovetop. Microwave popcorn does not work in this recipe! Fresh popcorn popped on the stovetop is easy to make with fresh popcorn kernels and a little oil.
2. Next, you will make your cinnamon maple syrup candied coating! In a small saucepan combine the coconut oil, cinnamon, maple syrup and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 3 – 5 minutes. Remove from stove top and add your baking soda and vanilla extract. The mixture will ‘bubble’ and get slightly thicker. Immediately pour the mixture over your reserved fresh popped popcorn and stir.
3. Place your maple caramel popcorn on your parchment lined pan and spread out as evenly as a possible. Now your popcorn is ready to bake in the oven to achieve that crunchy maple cinnamon candied popcorn perfection!

Instructions

• Make your popcorn on the stovetop (do not use microwave popcorn). Add a small amount of vegetable (or a high heat olive oil) to a 6 quart stockpot.
• Add thin layer of popcorn about 1/4 cup of kernels – enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with a lid. Turn to medium heat. When you start to hear popping, watch the pan closely, at this point sometimes I will vent the lid as well. When the popping starts to diminish, turn off burner and remove from stove top. Pour your popcorn into a large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Turn burner off – remove pot from stove. And add in both vanilla and baking soda. Mixture will bubble! Stir until well mixed. Pour over popcorn. Mix well.
• Pour popcorn onto prepared baking sheet.Bake for 45-55 minutes. Stirring after every 15 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container away from sunlight.
