Muffin Tin Monday

Muffin Tin Monday at Her Cup Overfloweth

This week at Muffin Tin Monday there was no theme, which worked out well for me since I was at a friend's house for lunch. I saw this recipe for Corn Dog Mini Muffins somewhere, really can't remember where, and I've been dying to try it out. The kids liked helping out, especially poking the hot dogs into the muffin tin. They were a big hit with my daughter, anyway, I think she at 5 of them for lunch plus the rest of her food.

Corn Dog Mini Muffins

{Ingredients}
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 or so hot dogs
 {Directions}
  • Mix together dry ingredients. Then add the liquid ingredients. Stir until mixed thoroughly.
  • Scoop into a greased mini muffin pan, filling the cups about 2/3 full.
  • Cut hot dogs into coins. Put one piece in each muffin cup
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cornbread is a nice golden color.
I'm going to freeze the leftovers and try reheating them tomorrow. Should work, right?

We are going to have to make these soon. My daughter only wants hot dogs for lunch and I think this would be a way to get a few more healthy ingredients in her. Thanks!

I'm anxious to know if freezing them worked out for you. Sounds like it should but I would love to freeze some ahead. Not only will my kids LOVE these...but they would be a great snack for my mom's group!

Freezing worked decently well. They're a little more crumbly after defrosting, but they're cornbread, so they're crumbly anyway :)
