Author Notes: My husband loves corn dogs, but wanted something that wasn’t deep fried. He went through a phase where he created a cornbread dough that he formed around the hot dogs and then baked…they were ok…but left a bit to be desired. So I thought of a way to make it even easier, why not make cornbread batter, chop up some hot dogs and mix them in and then bake them in a muffin pan. Ta da! Dip in mustard and you’ve got a quick and yummy snack to satisfy your fair food cravings. This recipe is very simple but great because you can add in whatever you want flavor wise – jalapenos to heat it up, cumin to make it smokey, maybe some herbs..whatever you like! —There'sAlwaysPie
