Instant Pot Popcorn (Basic Recipe) + Video

Have you ever heard of Instant Pot Popcorn?  That’s right, my friends, you can make popcorn in the Instant Pot.  Is it just me or is this like the most amazing kitchen device ever? Seriously.

Making Instant Pot Popcorn is ridiculously easy too! We chat a little bit here about the recipe and what it takes to make popcorn in the Instant Pot but don’t worry, you can change it up a bit to your preferred popcorn tastes. If you like more butter, feel free to add it and if you want salt on your popcorn, well at it at the end.

If you have a big group of people over for movie night, not to worry, Instant Pot Popcorn can be made in big batches and it only takes a few minutes! It’s so much easier than the old school pan on the stovetop trick and so much healthier than microwave popcorn.  I can serve my kids a bowl of this with no guilt whatsoever!
