3 Quick and Easy Vegan Popcorn Recipes

Here are a couple quick and easy popcorn recipes for at home or to take on the go!

  1. Peanut Butter Cup Popcorn

Vegans who love the combination of peanut butter and popcorn will gobble up this treat in no time! Unlike many peanut butter chocolate candies sold in stores, this popcorn uses only animal-free oils and sweeteners. To make it, melt coconut oil, maple syrup, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla extract over medium-low heat. Drizzle over freshly-popped popcorn and bake it all for 15 minutes. Let popcorn cool a bit, drizzle with melted dairy-free chocolate, and pop in the fridge to cool completely. This delicious vegan snack is perfect for a healthy dessert, party treat, or munchies on the go!

  1. Vegan Cheesy Popcorn

Giving up dairy is one of the hardest parts of becoming vegan for many people. Luckily, you can enjoy the delicious salty taste of cheese popcorn without the guilt thanks to this recipe! This snack uses a mixture of spices and nutritional yeast to get the same nutty, salty taste of cheese without using animal products. To make it, combine spices (see recipe), then heat coconut oil in a pot. Pop organic popcorn kernels, then transfer to a large bowl and toss with the seasoning mixture. With this savory treat, you will never miss regular cheese popcorn again!

  1. Vegan Caramel Popcorn

Buttery caramel is a decadent indulgence on its own and when popcorn is coated in it, you would think you are in heaven. With this recipe, vegans no longer have to miss out on these delicious flavors! First pop your popcorn in coconut oil, then transfer to a casserole dish. Melt vegan butter and brown sugar, then add vanilla extract, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Pour over the popcorn, stir to coat, and bake to create a sweet and salty treat. Even non-vegans are sure to chow down on this yummy snack!
