Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels about 6 1/2 cups popped
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 5-6 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bake the pecans on a small baking sheet until lightly toasted, about 8-10 minutes. Once toasted, roughly chop and set aside.
- While the pecans toast, pop the popcorn using preferred method of popping. To make it in the microwave, place the popcorn kernels in a brown paper bag and fold the top over loosely. Place upright in the microwave and cook until there are a few seconds between pops; about 3 seconds between. I have a 1000-watt microwave and it took about 1 minute and 40 seconds.
- While the popcorn pops, combine the coconut butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a small pot on medium/-ow heat and warm until the mixture is fluid, mixing well. It will be grainy from the coconut butter.
- Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add in the popped popcorn. Toss until evenly coated. I find it's easiest to use your hands to really rub the coconut butter mixture into the popcorn, as it's on the thick side.
- In a large zip-top plastic bag (I used a gallon bag), shake together the protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Add the popcorn into the bag, close the zipper, and shake around until the popcorn is evenly coated. Taste and add an additional tablespoon of protein powder, if desired. Add the pecans and shake around.
