Hey friends! This new recipe is one that I know will be a hit with kids and grown ups alike. These little muffins have a special place in my heart. A few years ago, my grandmother gifted me an adorable piggie mold. She has since passed, but I love knowing that she thought about my love of cooking, and doing something fun for the boys. You can find the mold here. You can also use a mini muffin tin, easy-peasy.
tips for preparing
- You make a small well in the center of your dry ingredients so that the wet ingredients don’t spill over the edge, and can more fully incorporate
- Allowing your batter to rest for at least 5 minutes makes the corn dogs lighter and fluffier
- Using a cooking spray (I prefer avocado oil) helps crisp and brown the edges
- Removing the muffins to cool on a rack helps keep the crispy crust and fluffy interior – if you let them cool in the pan, you run the risk of soggy corn dogs
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour finely ground
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup nutmilk I use Nutpods original flavor
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and spray and line your mini muffin tin
- Whisk almond flour, coconut four, salt, and baking powder in a medium sized bowl- creating a small well in the center
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, gently breaking them up, then add in the honey, and nut milk until full incorporated
- Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until mostly smooth- it's okay if there's a few lumps
- Pour in the cocnut oil, and mix until incoproated
- While the batter is sittting, cut your hotdogs in the size best for your muffin tin
- Carefully spoon about 1/2 tbsp into the muffin cup, add the hot dog, and spoon additional batter over top
- Bake for 20 minutes, until tops have gently browned, remove from oven, and carefully remove from the muffin tin, and place on a cooling rack – they need time to set
