A few weeks ago on Instagram I posted about these corn dog muffins that I made for a quick kid-friendly lunch. These were a creation I came up with several years ago from my corn bread recipe, slightly modified to make 24 muffins. I was trying to come up with something that would be easy, and likable, to feed a group of kids that we had over. So alas the corn dog muffins were made!! My kids have loved these and they will often request them when they get to pick out a fun dinner or lunch.
So to start add your cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and whisk together. Then add in your oil, melted butter, eggs, and milk and stir it all together until combined.
Spray two muffin pans with non stick cooking spray and then divide the batter evenly between the 24 spaces.
I like to find a pack of hot dogs that has 8 in it to make it easy. I like the Coleman brand from Sprouts but any hot dogs will work. Then take those 8 hot dogs and slice each of them into 3 even pieces. So now you have your 24 hot dog pieces and gently push down one in each of the muffin circles.
Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 12-13 minutes. Let cool in the pan a few minutes before removing and then serve.
I would love if you would join my Friday link up party!
Here is your printable recipe!

- Make a well and then add in your oil, melted butter, eggs, and milk and stir it all together until combined.
- Spray two muffin pans with non stick cooking spray and then divide the batter evenly between the 24 spaces.
- Take your 8 hot dogs and slice each of them into 3 even pieces. So now you have 24 hot dog pieces and gently push down one in each of the muffin circles full of batter.
- Bake in a 425 degree oven for about 12-13 minutes. Let cool in the pan a few minutes before removing and then serve.

Hi Jen,
We are neighbors this week at Thoughtful Thursdays…I love this idea! Do the hotdogs cook enough in the dough while in the oven? Or are your hot dogs there already precooked when you buy them? Ours here in Australia have to be well cooked before eating.
You’re most welcome to drop by for a cup of inspiration anytime!

Hi Jennifer! The hotdogs we get here are usually precooked when we buy them so I am not sure if the 12 minutes in the oven would be enough if they were not cooked? They get pretty hot but to be safe you could precook yours first!
