Corn Dog Muffins
Temperatures in Austin are already in the mid-90s so it's hard to believe it's not officially summer yet. We've been fortunate enough to check our beach vacation off of our summer list but there's still more we'd love to do.
Our priority this summer is teaching Cakes how to swim so there'll be lots more water in our future. I definitely foresee trips to local lakes, visits to Sea World, and even slip and slides and sprinkler fun in the backyard just to get Cakes more comfortable being in the water.
But you can't have all of that fun in the water without working up an appetite. Most of the time when I'm creating meals, developing kid-friendly recipes that the entire family can enjoy together is at the top of my priority list. Obviously, this doesn't always happen as my husband and my tastes vary greatly and lean more towards the spicy spectrum.
With our family's newfound fondness for hot dog recipes, I tried coming up with something new this week to integrate hot dogs into a new recipe. After making a recipe with chili, the natural follow up for me was cornbread.
Chili and cornbread pair so well, so why not follow up a chili dog recipe with one for corn dogs?! And these perfectly portioned, kid-friendly servings have been a new favorite from the time they popped out of the oven.

Have you made corn dog muffins before? What are your favorite recipes for kid-friendly recipes for entertaining?
that looks very yummy and easy to make 😀
My boys love all things hot dog and I’m betting these would go over really well at my house.
My kids are crazy over mini corndogs, so I know they would love these fun corn dog muffins. They love when they are unique and this is definitely unique. I have to make these this summer.
My girls love corn dogs and love muffins. This would be perfect for them!
This is perfect for a mid-day snack, and the girls would love making them. Thanks for the idea.
Hebrew National hot dogs are my absolute favorite. I love to create new recipes for hot dogs from time to time. This was a great one!
Sounds yummy for the kids! They all love hot dogs
That’s such a good idea! I’d totally eat those.
What a great idea! I always loved corn dogs when I was a kid.
What a great idea! I love these!
I bet my youngest would love these…muffins + hotdog = Perfect!
We’re starting swim lessons next week! I hope we can get our swimming too!
My kids would absolutely love these. I’m always asked to make my pasta salad for summer gathering and my burgers!
Ohhh this is so so child friendly!!
Neat idea! We love Hebrew national dogs.
What a great idea! I would never have thought of this.
I bet my son would love these. 🙂
I just tried these hot dogs for the first time the other day and they were pretty good. And low calorie!
This really does sound good. Hot dogs are a favorite around here.
What a great idea!
Very creative. Those look delicious!
Mmm, these look very tasty!
I’m jelly of your hot temps!!! But I’m going to def have to try this recipe out for the family!!
What a wonderfully kid-friendly treat, my sons would love this! We love this brand, and this looks so easy to do for a family get together.
That’s a great way to use the dogs, girlie!!!! Those look goooood!
PS. I miss you!
These look good. I usually just cut the dogs in fourths and wrap in a half a cressiant roll.
These look like something my kids would LOVE! Do you think I could use regular milk (C has a soy allergy).
I make something similar to this – but it’s Corndog Casserole.
WONDERFUL! Hebrew National makes the best dogs.
I love that it is a complete recipe, and doesn’t just call for pre-made biscuits. Not that there is anything wrong with pre-made biscuits… they have their place. However, I really do love the idea of making the biscuits from scratch… and this doesn’t look that hard.
This makes for a great summer snack
Clever, clever girl. I bet the kiddos would love this.
Ooh those look sooooo good! I am definitely going to make them! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the recipe – Pinned these for a weekend project with the kids!
