Cooking With Kids: Mini Corn Dog Muffins

Jack, Max, Kiki and I tried making a new lunch food today- Mini Corn Dog Muffins- in hopes of freezing bunches of them so that the kids can reheat them for lunches.  These taste great- although next time we will fill the muffin cups a little less and cut the hot dogs a little smaller so that they are more "bite size" for the kids....and I will remember to spray the second pan too!  I'm not sure how they will freeze/reheat yet.

1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (we used almond milk instead)
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
8-10 beef hot dogs, cut into 1" bites

1. First melt the butter
2. Then whisk the butter and sugar together, add the eggs and whisk, finally add the milk and whisk.



3.  In another bowl mix together the baking soda, cornmeal, flour and salt.

4. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

5. Spray the mini muffin tin with cooking spray, fill each with 1 tablespoon of the cornbread mixture.

6. Cut the hot dogs in to 1" pieces.
7. Stick a hot dog piece in the center of each muffin.
8. Bake 10-12 minutes at 375, or until the cornbread is lightly browned.
