These crispy mini corn dog muffins feature a tender cornmeal batter with savory hot dog pieces and a buttery honey glaze, perfect for a quick and nostalgic snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature; dairy-free options like oat milk work well)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 8 hot dogs, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (for glaze)
  • Pinch of smoked paprika (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the milk and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped hot dog pieces evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. While the muffins bake, whisk together melted butter, honey, and smoked paprika to prepare the glaze.
  9. Once baked, remove muffins from the oven and immediately brush the buttery glaze over each one.
  10. Let the muffins cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender. Use room temperature ingredients for even rising. Brush glaze immediately after baking for best crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute flour and milk accordingly. Muffins can be frozen and reheated in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
