Healthy Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe | Mommy Evolution (2024)

Jump to Recipe

My family are serious snackers, meaning we take our snacking seriously. This kettle corn recipe is SOOO good.

I rarely let junk food into the house and am always on the search for great tasting snacks without the ridiculous calories. Because if the snack doesn’t taste good, the kids just won’t eat it.

With September being Childhood Obesity Month, what better time to share a healthier version of a favorite snack! In observance, I’m incorporating Monk Fruit In The Raw into some of my recipes as a way to reduce sugar without reducing taste.

Directions for Kettle Corn Recipe:

1. Grab your deep skillet with a cover.

2. Heat 4 teaspoons canola oil over medium-high heat.

3. Sprinkle 1/3 cup popcorn over the bottom of the pot.

4. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag and 4 teaspoons granulated sugar over the popcorn. Cover the skillet.

5. Hold the skillet just above the heat and shake it constantly to prevent the sugar and popcorn from burning. You may want to grab a good oven mitt — it can get hot!

6. When the popping noticeably slows down, transfer the popcorn immediately to a large bowl.

7. Sprinkle on 1/4 fine sea salt (do more than that and it can get too salty).

Because the sugar can burn easily, be sure to not overheat the skillet. Also, pre-measure the ingredients so you can add them in quickly. In addition, keep the bowl nearby so you can immediately transfer the popcorn to the bowl; otherwise, you'll burn your beautiful popcorn!
