Homemade Flavored Maple Popcorn Recipe

I know it’s easier to just pick up a bag of flavored popcorn at the store, but have you checked out some of the ingredients? Almost all of them have high fructose corn syrup.

Since I’m trying to remove that from my diet, I’ve made many of my husband’s snacks.

This time, I made a maple harvest popcorn similar to caramel corn. That’s Marty’s favorite type of popcorn, so it’s the one I make most often.

But, you can change the flavor by changing what you add to the recipe. You can add vanilla extract and pecans. Or, you can add strawberry flavoring and freeze-dried strawberries. Just experiment until you find something you like.

You can also use it as one of the mix-ins when you make trail mix. We generally add pretzels, popcorn, raisins, dried cranberries, banana chips, and occasionally chocolate chips.

It’s one of my favorite snacks to take when walking or hiking in the woods.

Do you season popcorn before or after popping?

You need to add the seasoning after you have popped the kernels. You won’t taste much if any flavor if you season it before you pop it. Just follow the directions below to season this maple sugar popcorn recipe.

We pop our popcorn in a heavy pot on the stove, and it always comes out delicious. Of course, this recipe will work well with any unflavored popcorn as a base.

So, you can pop it in the microwave or an air popper if that’s what you have. Just make sure that the popcorn is plain, or it may interfere with the flavor you get when you make this.
