Ingredients

Popcorn kernels30 g
Dry weight, before popping. Popped in a pan with no oil.
Coconut oil1 tsp, about 4 g
Maple syrup1 tsp, about 7 g
Cocoa powder1 tsp, about 3 g
Ground cinnamonHalf a tsp
SaltA pinch

Method

Melt the coconut oil in a large lidded pan over medium-high heat, add the kernels, cover and shake until the popping slows to a stop, about three minutes.
Mix the cocoa, cinnamon and salt in a cup.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the hot popcorn and toss, then sift the cocoa mix over and toss again until it is evenly dusted.

Worth knowing

The maple goes on first so the cocoa has something to stick to. Without it the powder ends up in the bottom of the bowl.
A teaspoon each of maple syrup and cocoa: 19 kcal and 10. The sweetness is mostly suggestion, which is the idea.
