Corndog Muffin Cups

Print Recipe
Serves: 17 muffins Cooking Time: 18-20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) package cornbread mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne, optional
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) can of sweet whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) package hot dogs, cut into small round slices

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375-degrees and line two cupcake tins with 17 cupcake liners. Set aside.

2

In a large bowl, add the entire package of dry cornbread mix, cayenne, water, drained can of corn and cut up hot dogs. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Use a large scoop to scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling the liners all the way to the top.

3

Bake muffins in 375-degree oven, one cupcake tin at a time, for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out without raw batter on it. Repeat with second cupcake tin. Once muffins are cool enough to handle, remove the muffins from the cupcake tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container. To re-heat, place muffins in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Muffins will stay fresh for 4-5 days.

    These corndog muffins are such a good idea. My 8 year old grandson that is staying with me right now is going to love these. And I think that my 18 year old son is also going to love these. Win-win. Thanks for sharing.

    It is pure genius to add corn to the cornbread mix for your muffins. Most folks don’t think about that. Personally I like to add creamed corn, but kernel corn works without adjusting the liquid in the recipe.
    Too cool. Big fan. Keep these treasures coming.
    Btw, a version without meat could include utilizing beans – chickpea, black or your choice.
