Instructions

  1. 01

    Line a mini muffin tray with baking spray.

  2. 02

    In a large bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir together with a spatula until combined.

  3. 03

    In another bowl, add the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk and whisk until smooth.

  4. 04

    Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well, making sure there are no lumps or dry pockets of flour.

  5. 05

    Cut each hot dog into 1-inch pieces. You’ll want 20 pieces total.

  6. 06

    Using a tablespoon measure, distribute the cornbread batter into the greased muffin tray. Push a piece of hot dog into the batter of each well, making sure the hot dog goes all the way to the bottom.

  7. 07

    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the muffins have risen, become a golden color, and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread portion of the muffin comes out clean.

  8. 08

    Remove the muffins from the pan with the help of a small offset spatula. Serve the muffins warm with mustard, ketchup, or relish. They pack well making for a delicious lunch treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I think they are just as delicious fridge cold. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!

Corn Dog Muffin Variations

  • Add up to 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or thawed) to the batter. I have left it out to keep the recipe authentic to the original flavors of a corn dog.
  • Cheese is a delicious addition. I would recommend using grated cheddar or even Swiss cheese. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with the grated cheese or add 2 to 3 tablespoons of grated cheese to the cornbread batter before dividing it between the muffin tin.
