My family are serious snackers, meaning we take our snacking seriously. 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.
Lately I’ve been incorporating Monk Fruit In The Raw into some of my recipes as a way to reduce sugar without reducing taste. Making the Kettle Corn recipe below, the Monk Fruit In The Raw was a perfect blend, adding sweet to the dish without the calories. In fact, this recipe only has 148 calories per serving!
Homemade Kettle Corn Recipe
Making homemade kettle corn is incredibly easy and takes 10 minutes tops. You probably have most of the ingredients already in your kitchen!
Ingredients:
- Canola oil (or coconut oil)
- Popcorn kernels (I prefer white popcorn but you can use yellow)
- Monk Fruit In The Raw Bakers Bag
- Granulated sugar
- Fine sea salt
Directions:
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.
Add in the sugars and immediately cover.
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).
8. Toss popcorn to distribute salt and enjoy your healthy homemade kettle corn recipe! (Makes 6 servings with only 148 calories per serving.)
Tips: 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!

September 25, 2014 at 7:34 amI love to make my own popcorn and I had never heard of this recipe so I will try it as a snack for the kids this weekend. I need to buy the Monk Fruit

March 15, 2017 at 8:20 pmI’ve never heard of Monk Fruit In The Raw. My grandchildren love snacks. Popcorn is at the top of the list. I must do my research on this strange ingredient, and than try this recipe. Please share on Sunday’s Best Linkup.
