Vegan Caramel Popcorn

Creamy and caramel-y, 100% plant-based, and just as addictive as the original.

⏱ 20 min 👩‍🍳 Medium 🍽 4 servings

Proof that going vegan doesn't mean giving up on good snacking.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 4 1/4 tbsp vegan margarine or coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp plant milk (e.g. oat milk)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Pop the kernels.
  2. Simmer the sugar with the margarine (or coconut oil) and plant milk into a golden caramel - don't stir, just swirl the pot.
  3. Take off the heat and stir in the baking soda and salt (the mixture will foam up briefly).
  4. Pour over the popcorn and mix quickly.
  5. Spread on parchment paper and let cool completely.

Tips & Variations

  • Coconut sugar adds a slightly caramel-like note of its own - regular brown sugar works just as well, though.
  • A pinch of cinnamon turns this into a fall-flavored version.
