Mini Corn Dog Muffins
Description
These Mini Corn Dog Muffins start with a batter mixing cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt combined with buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. The batter is spooned into prepared mini muffin tins, and pieces of hot dog are pressed into the center before baking. The muffins bake quickly at 375°F until cooked through, forming little savory-sweet pockets that are easy to handle.
The final muffins have a slightly sweet cornmeal crumb with juicy hot dog bits in the center, providing a textural contrast and satisfying bite. This finger-food format makes them convenient for gatherings, lunchboxes, or casual snacking.
Serve these muffins warm with condiments such as ketchup and mustard. They can be prepared ahead and frozen in batches. Freezing on a baking sheet before storing in zip-top bags keeps them separate, and reheating in the oven preserves texture. This flexibility offers an easy snack option to heat on demand.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 egg large
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 8-10 hotdog cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray the mini muffin tins with cooking spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir just until combined.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, then press a hot dog piece into the center of each cup.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until done.
- Serve with ketchup and mustard for dipping, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Freeze the muffins on a baking sheet first to prevent sticking, then store in freezer bags.
- Reheat frozen muffins in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through.
- Adjust vegetable amounts or hot dog quantity based on preference.
- Serve immediately after baking for best texture or warm leftovers before eating.
