These little corn dog bites combine the classic taste of cornbread with the savory goodness of hot dogs, creating a perfect bite-sized snack that’s both satisfying and easy to make. With a golden, but moist exterior and a juicy hot dog center, they’ll definitely remind you of childhood.
We have made our own corn dogs at home and while they’re pretty easy to make, they take a lot of time. Instead of spending that time, you can keep it real simple by making these bites instead. You can make your own corn dough, or use a box mix to make it even easier.
Helpful Tips
- Choose the Right Hot Dogs: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality hot dogs or sausages. You can even experiment with different varieties, such as turkey, beef, or plant-based options, to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences.
- Don’t Overfill the Muffin Cups: To ensure even cooking and to prevent overflowing, fill the muffin cups only about 3/4 full. This allows the cornbread to rise and encase the hot dog without spilling over the edges.
- Add Flavor to the Batter: Elevate your Corn Dog Bites by adding ingredients to the cornbread batter. Consider mixing in shredded cheese, jalapeños, or spices like paprika or garlic powder for an extra kick.
