Kid's Meal: Corn Dog Muffins

Gabe LOVES corn dogs. To be honest, so does Nate. If we're being real, we know that the packaged and frozen ones aren't that great of a choice nutrition wise. These are homemade. You will know and be able to pronounce every ingredient that you put into them. I promise, if Gabe loves them, your littles will too. 

Corn Dog Muffins

Ingredients
  • 1 c all purpose flour 
  • 1 c corn meal 
  • 1½ tsp baking powder tsp 
  • ¼ baking soda  
  • ¼ cup and 2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar 
  • ¾ tsp sea salt 
  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk 
  • 3 turkey or all-beef hot dogs, nitrate and nitrite free, cut into quarters 

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Coat a 12 cup muffin tin lightly with cooking spray, set aside
  • Combine all dry ingredients (flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda, coconut sugar and sea salt) in a large bowl, mix well 
  • Combine buttermilk, oil, and eggs in a medium bowl, whisk to blend together 
  • Add wet ingredients slowly to dry ingredients, whisking until just blended 
  • Fill muffin cups with corn muffin mix (about ¾ full) 
  • Press hot dog quarter into the center of each muffin cup 
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
These are a wonderful option for kids, but can also be great for tailgates, potlucks, or even game day at home! I hope they're as big of a hit at your house as they are at ours!
