Corn Dog Muffins recipe


  • Author: Katherine

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 cup cornmeal: This gives the muffins their signature cornbread flavor and a slightly gritty texture that complements the softness of the muffins.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour: Balances the cornmeal and helps create a tender crumb.
  • 1/4 cup sugar: Adds a hint of sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the savory elements.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder: A leavening agent that helps the muffins rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the muffins.
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk: Moistens the batter and adds richness; choose almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 large egg: Binds the ingredients together and contributes to the muffins’ structure.
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil: Adds moisture and richness; you can substitute with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • 2 hot dogs, chopped or veggie dogs: The star ingredient that brings a savory, meaty flavor to the muffins.

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and greasing a muffin tin to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use muffin liners for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil until fully combined. This helps to incorporate air into the mixture, contributing to the muffins’ fluffiness.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the muffins tough; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the hot dogs: Gently fold in the chopped hot dogs or veggie dogs until evenly distributed throughout the batter, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  6. Pour batter into muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow room for the muffins to rise beautifully.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
  8. Cool and enjoy: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
