Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 3/4 cup cane sugar (or light brown sugar for a richer flavor)
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend
• Sea salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the coconut oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot. Let the kernels cook for 1-2 minutes until they start popping.
2. Once the popping begins, sprinkle in the sugar and pumpkin pie spice, giving it a quick stir with a wooden spoon before covering again.
3. Shake the pot frequently as the kernels pop to avoid burning. When the popping slows down, turn off the heat.
4. Remove the lid and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Add a pinch of sea salt and gently break apart any clumps with a spoon. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Substitutions:

• Swap coconut oil with avocado oil or any high-heat oil you prefer.
• For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter instead of unsalted butter.
• Cane sugar can be replaced with maple sugar or coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.

Storage:
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store your Pumpkin Spice Popcorn in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh!
