Corn Dog Muffins
We really love corn dogs and I wanted to try something different using ingredients I already had at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily and quickly make Corn Dog Muffins.
The entire family loved these and I must say they were a hit all around. In fact, next time I will double the recipe to have enough for school lunches the next day.
I have seen the recipes before where it calls for a whole hot dog in the middle of the muffin, but I decided that I wanted the corn dog flavor in all of my bites. I chopped up my hot dog and it was a hit.
The muffins turned out great and our family really enjoyed this new recipe. Since the hot dogs are chopped up, you really get to enjoy each delicious bite of the muffins.
If you can make muffins, you can make these super easy corn dog muffins. They are kid friendly but the entire family will enjoy them!
Try Make Ahead Mini Corn Dogs for easy meals and school lunches.
Our family gobbled these corn dog muffins up so leftovers were not around. 🙂 But you could easily make these ahead for quick meals on the go during the week.
They are great for lunches and even parties. I will definitely double or even triple this recipe next time to have options during the week.
I think this will really help on those nights when we are running from activity to activity. Plus, the kids will enjoy a change for school lunches and be pleasantly surprised to find these inside!
What can I serve with these Hot Dog Muffins?
The kids enjoy these muffins with just simple things like fresh fruit and cucumbers and baby carrots.
The rest of us love to eat corn dog muffins with this easy Crockpot Chili Recipe. If you enjoy corn bread with chili, you should try these mini corn dog muffins with it. Yum!
They are also good served with Slow Cooker Lentil Soup. I love to put something in the crockpot and then it only takes a few minutes to put these easy corn dog muffins together when I get home.

Let’s make Jiffy Corn Dog Muffins!
Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 2 eggs

- ¼ cup of cheese (because… everything taste better with cheese)
- 1 package of hot dogs (slice them and then chop into bite size pieces)
How to make Corn Dog Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 400. Line 18 muffin tins with paper (or you can use cooking spray).
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, whisk the wet ingredients and dry ingredients.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoon cornbread mix into each muffin tin and then add hot dog. Then another 2 tablespoon scoop and added more hot dogs.
- Bake for about 12 minutes to 15 minutes until nice and brown. Then enjoy!
Can I make gluten free corn dog muffins?
Yes! Just use our Gluten Free Cornbread Recipe.
Now this gluten free recipe does call for Jalapeno peppers but you can omit them if you prefer. However, it is a nice twist on the recipe and I have even added them to the jiffy mix.
It is that simple to enjoy Mini Corn Dog Muffins pinterest idea!
The result: The kids love these! They tried one (not knowing what they were) and said “Hmmm… these taste like corn dogs. ”
I call that a success. I ate one and thought I needed ketchup and mustard like I would my corn dog. 
These are really tasty!
Can you freeze Corn Dog Muffins?
Yes, I think you can. I would freeze in a freezer baggy so you can easily take out as many as you need.
This would be great to have on hand and then you can pop one in the microwave as a fun after school snack! The kids would love this idea!
How frugal is this Mini Corn Dog Muffins recipe?
I don’t know if it would be cheaper if you made it from scratch, but I figured it up and it would cost me less than a $1 to make all 18 (that is including the sales and coupon to buy the items). I would say that is frugal!
Everyone loves corn dogs and I love that it is so budget friendly. If you prefer, feel free to make your own cornbread with cornmeal flour and baking soda.
Sometimes, I like to add a little sour cream to the eggs and milk mixture.
Try Corn Dog Muffins for birthday parties, Game Day and more!

I hope your family loves them too! We enjoy these frequently and it really has become something we all look forward to around here.

Hi Carrie,
Ran late one day and made these for my family. My grandkids asked for more ‘corn puppies’. Not realizing this is what they wanted, they explained to me that corn dogs have tails – the sticks, but corn puppies have no sticks. This was a big hit so I plan on keeping the corn puppies on the menu for them.
