My kids love corn dogs, but I don’t like the hefty price and preservative
laden kind you can find at the store. Inspired by Laura’s post I decided to attempt mini corn dog muffins.
Corn Dog Mini Muffins
Muffin mixture
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 cup yellow cornmeal
* 2/3 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 egg
* 1 cup milk
* 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Mix together dry ingredients. Then add the liquid ingredients. Stir until
mixed thoroughly.
Scoop into a greased mini muffin pan, filling the cups about 2/3’s of the
way full.
Take hotdogs and cut into 1 inch pieces. Stick into the muffin mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cornbread is a nice
golden color.
They make the perfect dipping size for kids as well as a great appetizer.

I bought hot dogs today. Can’t wait to try these. I going to send a batch to work with my sister. They have been complaining that you can’t find good corn dogs. Thanks for sharing.

Hmmm…been planning on making these but just saw it’s supposed to a MINI muffin tin which I don’t have. *sigh* Wonder if this could be adapted to regular sized muffin tins…hmmmm.

@Beth/Mom2TwoVikings, I think you could easily adapt this to a reg. muffin tin. Just adjust the cooking time. Also you may have to add several pieces of hot dog to each muffin or cut them bigger. Just adjust it and it will work out.

I just tried this recipe using a regular-sized muffin tin. I had to bake a few extra minutes but they turned out great! My husband and kids have already eaten the entire pan!
Next time I might try adding cream corn to add extra flavor, moisture, and nutrients.
Thanks for posting this recipe. It’s definitely a keeper for this household!
