These Homemade {Baked} Corn Dog Mini Muffins are the perfect lunch box recipe for your kids!

I can't imagine my childhood without corn dogs (or "corney dogs", as I used to call them).  They were my favorite lunch.  What isn't fun about eating food off of a stick, honestly?

While, I'm not a super strict mom when it comes to my kids eating, I do like to make healthier options for them.  Instead of the usual frozen packaged corn dog, I decided to make a homemade version.  That way I know exactly what is going into them and they aren't fried!  (But, you can be rest assured I will still get him a classic corn dog at the fair).

Whether you are making these Homemade {Baked} Corn Dog Mini Muffins for your kids, or for your own dose of nostalgia, they are a much healthier option you will love!

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour)
• ¾ cup corn meal
• ¼ cup sugar (or preferred sweetener)
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup low-fat milk (or dairy free milk)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 2-3 hot dogs of your choice

HOW DO I MAKE BAKED CORN DOG MUFFINS?

First, start by creating the corn meal batter. Combine 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour) with ¾ cup corn meal and ¼ cup sugar (or preferred sweetener).  Add 2 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.

Next you will whisk in the following wet ingredients:

• 1 cup low-fat milk (or dairy free milk)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg

Pour the batter into your muffin tins and place chopped hot dog into the center of each muffin.  I used turkey dogs, but feel free to use veggie dogs, traditional beef hot dogs, or whatever your family prefers.

Bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Carefully remove the pan from your oven and let the muffins cool before serving.

Don't let the usual PB&J or turkey sandwiches take over your kids lunchbox.  Make a batch of these Homemade {Baked} Corn Dog Mini Muffins and brighten their day.
