My insanely delicious Corn Dog Mini Muffins recipe calls for all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, buttermilk, an egg, honey, and all-beef hot dogs, and is done in less than 15 minutes! It’s a family favorite in my house as my toddler and husband ADORE these appetizer muffins! They make the perfect game day party starter or appetizer and never last long! If you like this, then you’ll drool over my foolproof corn bread recipe!
Ingredients in Corn Dog Mini Muffins
All-purpose flour. Flour provides the structure of the corn bread and is integral.
Cornmeal. A gluten-free flour, cornmeal gives the bread its sweet taste and gritty texture. In this recipe the cornmeal combines with the flour to produce a fluffy and moist bread.
Baking powder. Baking powder is a leavening agent that helps the bread rise as it bakes.
Salt. Salt provides flavor and helps tighten the gluten structure of the bread. Salt also enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
Buttermilk. Buttermilk adds a delicious creamy flavor and gives the bread a soft crumb.
Egg. An egg helps bind the dough and helps the dough to rise. Eggs in a bread recipe increase the elasticity of gluten, which creates a softer, more delicious crumb.
Honey. Honey adds moisture to the dough and produces a wonderful honey-corn taste.
All-beef hot dogs. Tucked in the center of each corn bread muffin is a hot dog piece. Use all-beef hot dogs for the best quality.
How to make the best Corn Dog Mini Muffins
STEP 1: Preheat the oven and spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, stir the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient bowl and mix well. The mixture will be very thick.
STEP 3: Fill each muffin tin about ¾ of the way with the dough. Place a hot dog piece, tall side up, inside the center of each muffin tin. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the bread is golden and cooked through.
