Maple cinnamon popcorn

One of my recent discoveries was that you can pop popcorn at home in the microwave without a bought popcorn bag. You can use a microwave safe bowl and lid with air vents but I've found a roasting bag with a few air holes works a treat. You can do this without any oil but the coconut oil gives a nice additional flavour to the popcorn. 

Homemade microwave method
(makes about three cups of popcorn)
  1. If using coconut oil, place about a tsp in a roasting bag, add 1/4 cup popcorn. 
  2. Seal bag and cut a few small holes. 
  3. Microwave on high for about 4 mins. As per usual with microwave popcorn listen carefully to when the popping slows down and stop the microwave. 

For watching a movie on a rainy sunday, I opted for sweet popcorn and covered mine with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of cinnamon and approx 1tbsp maple syrup. Toss to mix topping through and eat before it gets cold!   Warning slightly sticky but very addictive.
Total weight watchers points - 6 if you eat the whole bowl.
