Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 12 hot dogs, cut into halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, shredded cheddar cheese, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and almond milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a consistent batter forms. The mixture should be thick but slightly pourable.
- Cut the hot dogs into bite-sized halves that will fit comfortably in mini muffin cups.
- Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, filling about 1/3 of the way. Place a hot dog half into the center of each cup, pressing slightly into the batter.
- Cover the hot dog pieces with remaining batter, ensuring they are mostly covered but not completely submerged.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Use a knife to loosen edges if needed.
- Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly corn dog mini muffins!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smoother, more consistent batter.
- For extra flavor, try using different types of cheese like pepper jack or sharp cheddar.
- Make sure to grease the muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking, as almond flour can be more prone to adhering to the pan.
- Don't overmix the batter – this can lead to dense, tough muffins. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For a crispy exterior, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
- These muffins freeze beautifully! Store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for a quick snack.
- Use high-quality, nitrate-free hot dogs for the healthiest option.
- Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to help them hold their shape.
