Ingredients

1 recipe oil-free corn bread
2 carrot dogs cooked and cut into 1-inch pieces or 2 vegan hot dogs or sausages, cut into 1-inch pieces (uncooked)
Mustard
Ketchup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Or, place the mini muffin pan in a preheated air fryer at 380 degrees for 10 minutes.
Make 1 batch of
vegan oil-free cornbread.
Using a non-stick mini-muffin pan, fill each muffin cup ¾ full of cornbread batter.
Add one piece of carrot dog or vegan hot dog to the center of each muffin cup.
Cook for 20 minutes.
This recipe makes 16 mini vegan corn dogs.

Notes

Marinating the carrot dogs overnight helps them absorb the best flavor.

Make sure not to boil the carrot dogs too long, as you will cook them a second time in a pan with the marinade.

Avoid over-stirring the cornbread batter. It needs to be combined but not overmixed.

Use a spoon rather than an electric mixer on the cornbread recipe.

Instead of making your cornbread, make it simple and buy a vegan box brand.

Store-bought vegan hot dogs do not need to be cooked before making the vegan corn dog recipe. However, if using carrot dogs, the carrot dogs must be cooked first.

To reheat the corn dogs, Put the corn dogs on a baking sheet in a preheated 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. For the air fryer preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees. Cook corn dogs for 3-5 minutes or until heated through

You can safely keep cooked hot dogs in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days; they'll also keep well in the freezer for at least 2 months.
