These crispy mini corn dog muffins feature a crunchy cornmeal batter with juicy hot dog bites and a subtle honey glaze, making a quick and satisfying snack perfect for gatherings or last-minute cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (room temperature; dairy-free milk for vegan)
  • 1 large egg (beaten, room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for greasing)
  • 20 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages (cut in halves or thirds)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease your mini muffin tin generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, beaten egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; batter should be lumpy.
  5. Cut mini hot dogs into halves or thirds depending on size.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup. Add one or two pieces of hot dog, then top with about another tablespoon of batter to nearly fill each cup.
  7. In a small bowl, combine honey, melted butter, and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir well.
  8. Brush the tops of each muffin generously with the honey glaze before baking.
  9. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  10. Remove muffins from oven and brush again with honey glaze while still warm. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender. Keep milk and egg at room temperature for best rise. Grease pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Brush honey glaze twice for best flavor and shine. Tent with foil if muffins brown too quickly. Optional broil 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness. Batter can be chilled 10 minutes before baking to improve texture.
