Oh wow, I channeled my Amish friends with this recipe. Jiffy Cake mix, believe it or not, is a staple in many Amish kitchens. Yes, many Amish are scratch cooks, but many Amish are also busy Moms with 7, 8, 9 children or more at home and if a corner can be cut in the kitchen then that's OK. And kids love making and eating these!
📋 Step-By-Step Corn Dog Muffins
If you have a mini muffin tin, you could do a bunch of mini corn dog muffins and they'd make good after-school snacks. I think some people call this type of a meal pigs in a blanket. Stir the muffin mix with a whisk or a fork and get it all combined.
This recipe is just what sounds like. You can use real hot dogs or if you want to make it a little healthier you can use veggie dogs. About 2 /3 of a dog went into each muffin. So, here's the problem (especially if you are using hot dogs over veggie dogs), I could easily eat 3 or 4 of these muffins. You could also use turkey dogs for a healthier option.
The dogs are cut into pieces and buried in the muffin so if I ate 3 or 4 muffins in a single sitting (which I did), voila, suddenly I would have consumed almost 4 hot dogs. Ugh. So, if you are like me and have no self-control, you might want to consider the veggie version. But, yes, these taste just like corn dogs. Except I almost like these better than waving around my meal on stick.
🍳 Hints
Dip these in ketchup and mustard just like you would a regular corn dog!
If you do make these, line your muffin tray with the paper muffin cups. Otherwise you'll spend a week scraping off the muffins because even if you grease the tins these tend to stick.
You can freeze these or store in an airtight container.

Ohh yes indeedy . I KNEW IT ! Just knew it . Jiffy mix . lol . Tiss a great recipe . Now , for the “more decadent “ version , as I usually add , instead of the “ wienies /hotdog” 🌭 use cut up kielbasa sausage , like Hillshire . They make Turkey Kielbasa as well . The beef one has the perfect amount of grease in them , to just make everything xtra rich. It shan’t stick to your muffin tins as well . I actually make it in a loaf pan , like a wee bread , and I cut the kielbasa in 1/2 . No small pieces . The corn bread mix soaks up all those great juices , and it’s like fresh corn bread with a twisty . I’ll add a whole can of sweet corn as well , but that’s just going way way out . The sweetness from the corn is really lovely . Happy and please have a blessed Sunday . Cheers. From Mennonite Gal . Nata$ha V . 🍻🍷🌭💋

If you add only 1/3 of a hot dog in the center of the muffin cup, how do you eat three or four hot dogs if you eat 3 or 4 muffins? Am I missing something here? Somewhere in the dialogue above the recipe, I read that each muffin is approximately 2/3 of a hot dog.

You're correct, my math didn't add up, but my sentiment is the same....watch how many muffins you eat, or you'll eat a lot of dogs! Maybe I ate 8 or 9 muffins...
