Gluten-Free Corn Dog Muffins

Alea — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 01:01:02 +0000

While perusing Pinterest, I saw several different recipes for corndog muffins. I didn’t pin the recipes because they all contained ingredients my kids could have, but the idea kept popping up. I decided corndog muffins would be easy to make gluten-free using my gluten-free cornbread recipe.

My kids loved these corndog muffins! They had not had a corndog in almost 5 years, so they were thrilled with this gluten-free alternative.

I doubled my gluten-free cornbread recipe and added chopped up turkey dogs. Since they are baked instead of fried in oil, they are lower in fat than traditional corndogs.

Recipe type: Lunch

Author: Alea

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 25 mins

Total time: 35 mins

Serves: 24

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups corn meal
2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
2 teaspoon xathan gum
1/2 cup honey (or sugar)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups rice milk (or milk)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup oil
6 hot dogs

Directions

Blend all of the dry ingredients.
Add in the milk, eggs, and oil; stir just long enough to ensure dry ingredients are moist.
Stir in the hot dog pieces.
Pour batter into a greased or lined cupcake pans.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

The corndog muffins freeze well. I froze the muffins and then used them for lunches on busy days. I will be adding this recipe to once-a-month batch cooking days.

<div>April of <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/index/Blog/Blog.html" target="_blank">The 21st Century Housewife</a> and I would like to welcome you to our weekend blog hop: Gallery of Favorites! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Gallery of Favorites last week.</div>
<p>This week we are featuring <a href="http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/2012/02/if-you-give-a-mom-a-blog/" target="_blank">If You Give a Mom a Blog</a> by Marcy of <a href="http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/" target="_blank">(Don’t be) Too Timid or Too Squeamish</a>.</p>
</div>
<p><a href="http://premeditatedleftovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Green-Monster-Outtake-300x225.jpg"></a>Her humorous post on being a blogger resonated with my family. If you have ever made your family wait until you’ve taken a picture to eat dinner, you will want to read <a href="http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/2012/02/if-you-give-a-mom-a-blog/" target="_blank">this post</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://premeditatedleftovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Push-up-300x2251.jpg"></a></p>
<p>Marcy is sharing a series of challenges she  gave to herself, so that she doesn’t remain, in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “too timid and squeamish.” You can follow along as she completes <a href="http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/101-things-in-1001-days/" target="_blank">101 Things to do in 1001 Days</a>.  Marcy also hosts <a href="http://www.tootimidandsqueamish.com/scene-from-a-memoir/" target="_blank">Scene from a Memoir</a> on the first and third Friday of each month.</p>
