Healthy chocolate popcorn cupcakes
This healthy eating recipe will give you your chocolate fix- without the calories and uses what we believe to be the world’s easiest way to make popcorn.
It can also be enjoyed as dairy-free and vegan with one simple variation, or modified to add cinnamon, sea salt, chili flakes or anything else you fancy.
Ingredients
- 90g 70% dark chocolate, broken into small pieces*
- ¼ cup popcorn kernals
- 1tsp coconut oil
*Dairy-free and vegan version
- 40g/40ml coconut oil, melted
- 50g organic raw cacao powder
- Stevia to taste (optional)
- ¼ cup popcorn kernals
Chocolate Popcorn Recipe: Method
Place popcorn kernels in a brown paper lunch bag and fold over the top edge with two shallow folds
Place in the microwave for approximately 2 minutes
Open the bag and with loose fingers of both hands, scoop out fully-popped popcorn into a large bowl
Leave popcorn to cool
In a small saucepan, melt coconut oil over a low heat, according to preferred variation (1tsp or 40g/40ml).
Either add the dark chocolate and stir over heat until melted or remove the coconut oil from heat and stir in cacao powder and stevia. Let cool slightly
Using a spatula, drizzle one scoop of chocolate mixture over the popcorn then stir. Keep doing this until all the chocolate has been used.
Spoon into patty-cases and let chocolate set in a cool place (refrigerate if a warm day)
Best eaten the same day but will keep for two days in an airtight container
