baked corn dogs healthy version

My children love corn dogs. To purchase enough for this large family requires you purchase 2 boxes which in turn leads to an expensive meal. Plus the fact that they are deep fried, my children do not need all that extra fat and calories. I had to come up with something different.

And I did.

For this recipe you will need the following:

3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 T sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg slightly beaten
1 teaspoon coconut oil
6 hotdogs

For our large family we did quadruple this recipe and made 24 hot dogs.

Mix your dry ingredients together first, and then make a well in the center and add your wet ingredients. Mix until well blended. It will be thick. You are going to need to roll it out.

I sprinkled flour on the counter top and rolled out a batch of cornbread dough.

I tried every way to coat the hotdog under the sun. I tried cutting and then wrapping the dough around. Tried pinching it this way and that way. Then I realized I would treat it like my childrens’ playdough. I placed an amount around the hotdog and then….

I started rolling it out. Like we make snakes for playdough.

When i was finished it made a perfectly smooth coating to the hotdog. So much easier then pinching and wrapping.

You can bake at 400 for about 20 minutes until browned.

Or you can place them onto a cookie sheet and then freeze them. After completely frozen, place into freezer bags and put away for a late night snack, or a quick lunch:)
