Notes

  • Adapted from Iowa Girl Eats.
  • You can freeze the mini muffins on a baking sheet for 3-4 hours (or until frozen solid), then transfer to a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Keep the frozen corn dog mini muffins in a freezer-safe zip-top bag and take out as many as you want when you are ready to eat them.  
  • To reheat, place the frozen muffins on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until they are heated through. Or just stick the frozen muffins in your kids’ lunch, and they will be thawed and fresh at lunchtime!
