Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (can swap with gluten-free blend)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative like oat milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 20 pieces)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Cut the mini hot dogs into bite-sized pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches long.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup to cover the bottom.
  7. Place one piece of mini hot dog on top of the batter in each cup, then cover with more batter until about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to crisp up.
  10. While muffins bake, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper to make the dipping sauce.
  11. Serve the mini corn dog muffins warm with the honey Dijon dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Keep hot dogs centered by layering batter before and after placing the hot dog piece. Grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Cool muffins on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. Tent muffins with foil if browning too quickly. The honey Dijon dip can be adjusted for sweetness or spiciness by adding hot sauce.
