Corn Dog Muffins

from Iowa Girl Eats


 These poppable bites consists of a sweet and crispy cornbread mini muffin, studded with a salty, all-beef hot dog. They taste exactly like a state fair corn dog, just in a teeny-tiny package!

Notes: I used a regular muffin pan and a mini pan. I baked them for about 20 min. at 375 degrees. Also, since I was using a regular muffin pan, I chunked/diced the hot dogs and then tossed them on top of the batter already divided up in the muffin pan.)
Ingredients (makes 12 regular and 10 mini muffins (Serves about 4)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or 1/4 cup butter + 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 7-8 all-beef hot dogs, cut into 1″ bites (I used chicken/turkey and was still good)
Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and whisk to combine. Add eggs and whisk to incorporate. Add buttermilk and whisk to incorporate.
  • In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, cornmeal, flour, and salt, and stir to combine. Whisk into wet ingredients in two batches.
  • Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray, and spoon 1 Tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup. Place one hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes (oven temperatures vary), or until cornbread is golden brown. Cool in mini muffin tin for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving.
