Bring the fun and flavor of the fair right into your kitchen with these Corn Dog Muffins with Honey Mustard Swirl. Sweet and savory with a golden, fluffy cornbread base, these muffins wrap all the nostalgic charm of a corn dog into a handheld, oven-baked treat. They’re kid-approved, adult-loved, and incredibly easy to make with just a handful of pantry staples.
At the heart of this playful recipe is the classic Jiffy corn muffin mix, enhanced with milk and egg to yield a tender crumb. Cheddar cheese adds a melty twist, while chunks of hot dog bring in the salty, juicy center you expect from a carnival corn dog. The swirl of honey mustard over the top bakes into a tangy glaze, giving each muffin a pop of flavor that’s sweet, sharp, and perfectly balanced.
These muffins are perfect for weeknight dinners, fun lunches, party trays, or after-school snacks. They’re also incredibly adaptable—make them mini for bite-sized appetizers or double the batch for a crowd. Best of all, there’s no deep frying involved, making them a cleaner, healthier alternative to their fairground counterpart.
