Instant Pot Corn Dogs Bites
Description
This recipe mixes cornbread batter with egg, milk, and optional garlic powder to enrich the flavor. The batter is poured halfway into silicone molds, then topped with a section of hotdog, and covered with more batter. The molds are sealed and cooked with steam inside the Instant Pot, producing corn dog bites that are cooked through and moist without frying.
The steaming method keeps the cornbread tender and moist around the hotdog pieces, creating a different texture compared to traditional fried corn dogs. These bite-sized portions make for easy snacks or party appetizers.
Once cooked, the bites are removed from the molds by tapping, maintaining their shape. They can be served whole or sliced, making them versatile for serving indoors or at gatherings.
Notes mention cutting hotdogs into smaller sections for very large hotdogs, and emphasize coating molds lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Also, covering the silicone molds tightly with foil prevents steam condensation from affecting the batter texture.
Ingredients
- 8.5 cornbread mix or your very own homemade cornbread batter, Jiffy brand, box
- 1 egg large
- 1/3 cup milk
- ¼ tsp garlic powder optional
- 4 hotdog each cut into 3 equal sections
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the Jiffy cornbread mix, egg, milk, and garlic powder and whisk until completely combined.
- Lightly spray the silicon molds and fill 12 silicone molds up to halfway with the cornbread batter.
- Then add a piece of sectioned hotdog into the middle of each part filled mold.
- Then fill each mold with the remaining batter up to about three-fourths of the way full.
- Cover the silicone tray with the tray cover and then cover it with foil around the edges.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and stack the silicon molds on the trivet and add to the Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot with lid, seal, and set on Pressure Cook or Manual on High for 10 mins and cook until done.

- Remove the trays, discard foil and open.
- Tip the trays over and gently tap the bottom of the mold to remove the bites.
- Serve them whole or sliced.
Notes
- Use cooking spray or lightly oil the silicone molds to prevent sticking.
