Recipe FAQs

How long do you bake mini corn dogs?

Bake these for 8 to 10 minutes in a 400-degree oven, until the edges are golden-brown and the corn muffin is cooked through. (You can test it by poking it with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they’re done.)

How do you cook corn dogs in the oven?

Corn dogs aren’t just hot dogs covered with fried batter on a stick! These mini corn dog bites can be cooked in the oven using a mini muffin tin, cornbread mix, and cut-up hot dogs. They’re a little healthier since they’re not fried, and they’re the perfect size for all ages to enjoy!

How long do mini baked corn dogs last?

You can store leftovers in a sealed baggie or airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat them on a cookie sheet in a 350-degree oven until they’re heated through, about 6 minutes.
