Lunch is always a struggle here. I lack the creativity to come up with something new and fun all the time. When I DO make something new, there’s almost someone who has to complain and refuse to eat it. So I’m always a little leery. This time though I just bit the bullet. I wanted to try something, I knew I would already like it, it would just be do the KIDS like it?
These are too easy to make, so whip them up and watch them disappear!
Corn Dog Muffins {Recipe}
Recipe type: Corn Dog Muffins
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Super easy kid-friendly lunch
Ingredients
- 2 boxes corn bread mix (I used Jiffy – you can also make this homemade if you’d like) prepared as directed
- 1 package hot dogs (preservative free)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400
- Prepare your corn bread mix as directed on the box, or by your recipe
- Slice 2-3 hot dogs, more if you want them extra meaty
- Mix hot dog slices into corn bread batter gently
- Divide batter amongst muffin tins (spray or paper-lined)
- Bake muffins at 400 for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean
Notes
We made mini sized and regular, so the amount that you can produce will vary on your muffin tin size. Adjust baking time accordingly.
I’m positive these would freeze well, so bake up plenty! To freeze just place them on a cookie sheet (single layer), pop in freezer until frozen, then into baggies. Thaw in fridge and microwave until warm.
I would say they were a hit! A picky 7 year old and a teething 13 month old enjoyed lunch! Woo hoo!
Ok, LOVE this!!! For one thing, it sounds super easy, and for another, it’s something different (and great for little hands to grab & eat). Thanks for sharing – we will definitely be trying this in our house!
This is such a cute idea–and so easy too! I can’t believe there are only two ingredients!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
I HAVE TO DO THIS. I’M GOING TO DO THIS AS A SURPRISE FOR MY WIFE!!! We are addicted to Jiffy Cornbread – but this… so easy but so appetizing. lol
Thanks for sharing. If I make a mess when I do this – you’ll be able to read about my failure at benknotts.wordpress.com. lol
