A quick and easy twist on classic corn dogs baked in muffin form, featuring a crispy cornmeal crust and juicy hot dog pieces inside. Perfect for snacking, kid-friendly, and less messy than traditional corn dogs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (90g) yellow cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 hot dogs, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, vegetable oil, and yellow mustard until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
  5. Cut the hot dogs into 1-inch chunks.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, add a piece of hot dog, then cover with another tablespoon of batter.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter (not the hot dog) comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly and crisp up.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use mustard in the batter for classic tang. Grease muffin tin lightly with oil instead of butter to avoid burning. If muffins brown too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. For extra crunch, sprinkle cornmeal in muffin cups before adding batter. Mini muffin tins can be used with reduced baking time (12-15 minutes).
