I’m just going to be honest and admit that some good, nasty (a good nasty) fair food is just needed, weelll, maybe not needed but definitely wanted. This last cheat day I wanted a corn dog bad don’t judge me.
I’m sure it had something to do with the Fourth of July being a couple of weekends ago, and per usual, hot dogs were everywhere.
I like hot dogs just fine, but a corn dog is a whole other story; the crunch of the fried corn bread batter, the slight sweetness of it that pairs so well with the hot dog, and just so awesomely handheld and dippable in ketchup or mustard.
Well, I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t have a fryer lying around my house to make corn dogs, so I think these mini corn dog muffins are the next best thing (maybe better).
These were beyond easy to make, and soo freaking good y’all. Since they’re baked, they don’t taste exactly like a corn dog, but the corn muffin part is slightly sweet, soft and the perfect amount of hot dog in the middle…yummy!! Happy Monday!!

How much sugar? Recipe does not say…..
