Homemade Microwave Popcorn? Sign me up! We love popcorn and it’s such a great option for a fairly healthy snack. Like most other things though, I hate feeding my family things with tons of added ingredients and preservatives. Making homemade popcorn on the stove top isn’t terribly hard and it is delicious but it does take some time. Since we don’t always have that kind of time and the kids often want to make popcorn themselves, I came up with this great recipe for DIY Microwave Popcorn.
Homemade Microwave Popcorn
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/3 cup Popcorn Kernels
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 Brown Lunch Bag
- Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Place ingredients in bag. Fold top over and place on side in microwave. Cook times vary by microwave, mine took 2 minutes.
That’s it! This seriously could not be simpler to make. Not to mention, it tastes amazing! Who needs an expensive popcorn popper when you can make homemade popcorn this easily?!? You may want to stock up on brown paper bags and popping corn because this is going to become a family favorite.
You can use a butter substitute if you’re looking for a healthier option (although when butter is so much better than so many substitutes).
- • ⅓ cup Popcorn Kernels
- • 3 tbsp Butter

I remember doing this before there was such a thing as store bought microwave popcorn.
If you leave the butter and salt off, you can reuse the bag and it doesn’t make a big mess in your microwave. You can melt the butter and add it to your bowl so that each person gets as much or as little as they want. We do this because I HATE scrubbing oily messes out of my microwave/ Also because some of us like very little butter and some like a ton of butter.
