                                                               Corn Dog Muffins
                                                            (Gluten-Dairy-free)

Ingredients:(makes 18 muffins)

1/3 cup melted butter spread(Earth Balance soy/dairy free)

 1-pkg  of Bob's Red Mill Cornbread Mix(gluten-free)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup almond milk
2-3 turkey hot dogs, cut into 1″ bites

2-3 tablespoon of Honey

Non-stick spray (Coconut oil)

Directions: 

*Have all ingredients at room temperature
* You can also use a mini muffin tin to make smaller muffins just  cut the hotdogs into 1/2 ″ bites which should at least make about 2-3 dozen mini corn dog muffins. Shorten the baking time to 15 minutes and baste muffins with honey butter spread at the last 5 minutes of baking.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
   
2. Melt the butter spread
   
   
   
3. In a bowl combine cornbread mix ,almond milk ,
    melted butter spread, & honey.
   
   
   
                                                                 I use local honey!
   
   
    I first add the honey to the warm butter spread so all is incorporated.
   
   
   
   
   
   
    
4. Add eggs and whisk all ingredients to combine.
   
   
5.  Cut the hot dog  into 1″ bites.
   
6. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
   
   
7.  Add about 2 Tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. Place one hot dog bite into the middle of each cup.
   
   
   
   
9. Top each muffin with remaining batter to cover hot dog.
   
   
   
   
10.  Bake for a total of 20 minutes (oven temperatures vary).
    
    
11.  After the first 10 minutes of baking , remove muffins from the oven and brush the honey butter spread mixture on top of each muffin.
    
    
    
    
12. Bake for another 10 minutes or until cornbread is golden brown. 
    
13. Place a toothpick into the muffin  to check if the batter comes out dry then you know the muffins are completely baked through.
    
                                                             These muffins are done !
    
    
14. Cool  muffins for 5 minutes before serving. 
    
15.  Serve with any condiment of choice for me it is mainly ketchup & Gulden's  mustard.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

 Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and re-heat for 20-30 seconds before serving. 

You can also store in the freezer just thaw the corn dog muffins out then re-heat.
