Easy Mini Corn Dogs Recipe
It reminds me of the summer carnival event, spending the whole day enjoy all attractions and trying to eat these fun foods. Have you ever decide to eat the corn dog at these carnivals? Isn’t it fun? I am sure it is.
Well, lately, my daughters keep asking me to cook corn dogs. So, of course, I say yes, but thinking how to prepare it for fun, simple, and no mess, there has to be a better way to cook corn dogs without deep frying.
While I am okay with deep frying, dealing with oil splatter and standing up in the kitchen waiting until the food is cook without being burned is not what I am looking for when having a beautiful sunny day outside.
So, I choose to bake it, make it into muffins, turn it into a perfect side dish for chili, snack, breakfast, lunch box, the list goes on here, right?
I use the mini muffin tin because it turns into a bite-sized and fit for any kid’s lunch boxes.
Super Bowl Or Back To School Snacks
This corn dog mini muffin is also excellent for super bowl or back-to-school snacks.
Bake it on a big batch, then freeze it for a quick meal anytime. Make sure to cool it first before putting the muffins in the freezer.
How To Reheat Corn Dog Muffins
To reheat, you pop these mini corn dog bites in the microwave or toaster oven until warm.
It will make your morning easier for preparing breakfast or when you want a quick warm snack.

To be honest, I never had a corn dog in my life. I don’t live in the US, and they’re not very popular around Europe. I wish I could taste them though.
