Mini Corn Dog Bites are a fun, kid‑friendly snack or quick dinner that combines hot dog pieces baked in cornbread batter in mini muffin tins. Whip this up in about 20 minutes using pantry basics and favorite dipping sauces. These bite‑size treats are ideal for snacking, lunchboxes, or family get‑togethers—and the recipe is forgiving and crowd‑pleasing.
1 box (≈8.5 oz) Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 large egg
⅓ cup whole milk (or milk of choice)
5 hot dogs, sliced into ~1‑inch pieces (yields ~24 bites)
Optional: 1 Tbsp melted butter (some versions include it)
Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) (or up to 400 °F depending on recipe version). Spray a 24‑cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn muffin mix, egg, milk, and optional melted butter until just combined (lumps okay).
Fill each mini muffin cup about halfway with batter. Gently press a slice of hot dog into the center of each cup.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing.
