6 servings
- 3 tbsp coconut oil or neutral oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
For the glaze
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Ingredient noteThough high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels, cover, and wait until all 3 have popped — this signals the oil is ready. Add the remaining kernels in a single layer, cover, and cook, shaking the pot every 15–20 seconds, until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels.
