Super Bowl Party Snack

So I should start by saying that I couldn't give two sh*ts about the Super Bowl, or football or any sports in general, but I like going to parties and I LOVE making food for my friends.  I found a genius recipe that I'm taking.


CORNDOG MINI MUFFINS!!


Cornbread Mix:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2  teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

• Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F
• In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder
• In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, milk, applesauce and sugar
• Gently mix together wet and dry ingredients, stirring only to coat. Be careful not to over mix here or you will have tough, dry muffins. Just like with biscuits/scones the key is to be gentle with the batter. There will be small lumps in your batter, and that is perfectly fine.
• Prepare your muffin tin by spraying liberally with cooking spray. If your pan has the tendency to stick, consider using mini muffin liners.
• Using a tablespoon, fill each muffin cup 3/4 full. Be sure not to fill all the way to the top.
• Insert 1 hot dog piece into each muffin
  • I used Lit'l Smokies mini smoked sausages, but you can use regular cut up hot dogs.  Whichever sort you like, just make sure they're fully cooked.  
• Bake at 400 F in the center of your oven for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean
• Remove from pan while still very warm to avoid over-cooking

Here's what they're supposed to look like:

And here's what mine looked like (I think they look a little like boobies...):

And here's where I found the recipe.

These were so freaking amazing, and probably a little healthier than regular corn dogs since they weren't fried or anything.  Enjoy!
