My family loves these Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins. They are perfect to keep on hand in the freezer for a quick lunch or dinner.
I will say though that these are not like the deep fried, on the stick, type of corn dog. If that is what you are wanting, these probably are not for you. Just being honest here.
These are moist. These are not fried. And although they are not healthy, they are healthier than most corn dogs. And if you use a gluten free hot dog these are gluten free.
My kids loves these and I hope yours do too!
Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins
All the flavors of corndogs in an easy to make cheese muffin.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal ( I use gluten free cornmeal)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 eggs
- 1- 14 ¾ ounce cream style corn
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 hot dogs cut into bite size pieces ( I like them cut small like this instead of in large pieces.) I use gluten free hot dogs
Instructions
- Combine the first 7 ingredients. Stir just until combined well.
- Stir in cheese and hot dogs.
- Grease muffin pan.
- Spoon into muffin tins. This makes about 15 muffins.
- Bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
- I actually like the texture on these a little better after they have cooled down a little, but you can serve them either way.
- These also freeze well.

Just made these… thought all the kids would love them! Again, kids prove me wrong… Big kids were totally put off by the corn in them… but the little kid’s devoured them! So, despite the big kids’ protest, I WILL be making these again! I did put in extra cornmeal cause it was very soupy when I mixed the batter… Thanks for the recipe! (Also love that these are freezer friendly!)

@Blessed5x, I am glad at least some of your kids liked liked them. My kids all love them, but I know some kids don’t like corn. And yes, this is a wet soupy batter.

Hmm… Nothing in mind for dinner tonight, and I know I have 6 or 8 hot dogs in the fridge but no buns to put them on — I think this sounds like a winning combination! Thanks for the oh-so-timely post. 😀

I made a gluten free/egg free version of these not too long ago. Although, mine may qualify as more “yankee” since there’s sugar in them, lol!
