Quick, Easy & Delicious Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins — Low Carb Recipe

I posted a photo of these quick & easy Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins on social media recently and many people commented asking me for the recipe. So, by popular demand, I'm sharing and reviewing my quick and easy recipe for these mouthwatering, keto-friendly, low carb Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins.

My husband loved these so much he couldn't wait for me to make them again!

I wanted a quick and easy recipe for weeknights, so I used Good Dee's Corn Free Bread Mix, which is excellent and has clean, wholesome, healthy ingredients.

However, you could easily make this recipe with your favorite low carb or conventional cornbread or corn muffin recipe instead of the prepared Good Dee's Corn Free Bread Mix, if you prefer. You can also substitute another favorite shredded cheese for the cheddar. See Recipe Variations, below, for more information and variations.

Enjoy!

Recommended Tools and Equipment

I like to use reusable silicone baking cups AKA muffin tin liners lightly sprayed with avocado or olive oil for these cheddar corn dog muffins. Baked goods are released from these cups very easily, and they help keep leftover muffins or cupcakes fresher during storage. These silicone liners are also very easy to clean, especially if you spray them lightly with oil before adding the batter.

The silicone liners I use for this recipe (I have two types) are the GIR: Get It Right Premium Silicone Cupcake Liners Reusable Non-stick Baking Cups, which have a slightly larger capacity than my heavy-duty standard silicone baking cups and also have helpful tabs for lifting muffins or cupcakes in or out of the pan without accidentally touching or marring the tops. The set I have is in the Strawberry Swirl colorway (shades of red, pink, and pale gray), but they also come in a pretty Frosty Mint colorway (shades of dark and pale blue and green).

The handy tabs on the large GIR silicone baking cups make it easy to lift the filled liners in and out of the muffin pan.

I prefer to use these silicone baking cups as liners in a nonstick muffin pan, which helps distribute the heat evenly and helps keep the muffins shaped nicely, while the nonstick pan finish helps prevent any stray bits of batter or cheese from sticking. Chicago Metallic is an excellent brand; I have a couple of specialty (jumbo and mini) muffin pans from them and they're great. Since my standard nonstick cupcake pans are getting a bit long in the tooth, when it's time to replace them I'll be buying the Chicago Metallic Commercial II Non-Stick 12-Cup Muffin Pan.

I use a three-tablespoon scoop to measure out the batter, using one rounded scoop of batter for each muffin cup. I have a set of Norpro stainless steel measuring scoops that I love and use all the time, and the 50MM (3 Tablespoons) Norpro Stainless Steel Scoop is perfect for this recipe.

Ingredients for low carb cheddar corn dog muffins

I use Good Dee's Corn Free Bread Mix along with eggs, butter, apple cider vinegar, cornbread flavoring, cheddar cheese, hot dogs, and avocado oil spray in this recipe, but you can also substitute other ingredients (see Recipe Variations).

Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 18 minutes

Total Time: 28 minutes

Servings: 12 (one muffin per serving)

Ingredients

For the Cheddar Corn Dog Muffins:

Avocado or olive oil spray (for greasing muffin pan liners)
3 large eggs
3 Tablespoons salted butter, melted and cooled
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon Amoretti Sweet Corn Extract or 20 drops of OOOFlavors Corn Bread Flavor Concentrate Unsweetened
1 package Good Dee’s Corn Free Bread Mix
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3 hot dogs, fully cooked (I recommend Applegate Farms brand The Great Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dogs)

For the optional dipping sauce:

2 Tablespoons sugar-free ketchup (Primal Kitchen regular or spicy unsweetened ketchup)
2 Tablespoons sugar-free raspberry jam (ChocZero No Added Sugar Raspberry Jam)
1 Tablespoon teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly grease 12 silicone muffin cup liners and place in a muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vinegar, and cornbread flavoring or sweet corn extract. Stir in the Good Dee’s Corn Free Bread Mix until well combined.
Reserve 4 Tablespoons (1/2 cup) of the grated cheese and mix the remaining cheese into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the greased muffin tin liners.
Slice each hot dog into four sections. Place one section on end in the center of each batter-filled muffin cup, then sprinkle each muffin with 1 teaspoon of the reserved shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake until lightly golden, approximately 18 minutes. Do not overbake or the muffins will be dry.
Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove the silicone muffin cup liners and serve, with or without optional dipping sauce.

Optional dipping sauce:

Mix the sugar-free ketchup (Primal Kitchen), sugar-free raspberry jam (ChocZero) and Dijon mustard. Serve 1.25 teaspoons of dipping sauce with each cheddar corn dog muffin.

Recipe Variations

If you want some hot dog in every bite, consider dicing the hot dogs and mixing them into the batter instead of inserting 1/4 hot dog into the center of each muffin.
If you're not a fan of cheddar, consider substituting another cheese such as shredded Swiss, provolone, or gouda.
If you want to make this low carb cheddar corn dog muffins recipe entirely from scratch instead of using a mix, try the Keto Corn Dog Bites recipe from All Day I Dream About Food but mix in the shredded cheddar before scooping the batter and add the shredded cheese topping before baking.
Alternatively, you could substitute a conventional corn muffin mix or recipe for the corn dog batter if you aren't watching your carbs.

Microwave Egg Poacher Makes Perfect Eggs for Egg Muffins

I am delighted to be able to review and recommend the Nordic Ware 2 Cup Microwave Egg Poacher. It exceeds initial expectations.

When my husband said he wanted to buy an egg poacher and make a copycat egg muffin like the popular fast food restaurant, I was willing to be his taste-tester. He wanted something that would be fast and easy so we did a search for a microwavable egg poacher to start.

I was concerned about how flimsy so many of them were, but when we came across the Nordic Ware poacher, the search was over. I love Nordic Ware products.

I had not previously used one of their microwave cookware pieces, but I have been using their shaped bakeware pans for decades so I know they are a reliable, trustworthy and well-made brand. Their egg poacher is no exception!

I am quite impressed with the sturdy cup design of the Nordic Ware Egg Poacher. The hinges are my only concern, but only time and constant use will tell about them. However, I'm not overly concerned since the price is low enough that replacing it after a few years should not be too difficult.

Nordic Ware 64702 2 Cup Microwave Egg Poacher, WhiteCheck PriceHow to Make Poached Eggs with the Nordic Ware Egg Poacher

The poacher makes two poached eggs at one time.

To make the poached eggs, lightly butter each egg cup, add an egg in each cup, break the yolk if desired, and add 1 teaspoon of water per egg.

Snap the egg poacher shut and cook in the microwave for 80 seconds for firm, fully cooked eggs (microwave cooking time may vary). Then, let them set and continue to steam cook for 30 seconds before opening the poacher.

The cooked eggs easily slide out of the poacher cups.

I recommend handwashing the egg poacher to lengthen the life and maintain the quality of the microwavable dish.

Egg Muffin Recipe

My husband loves the Thomas English Muffins, so selecting the muffins was no problem for him. He also purchased Canadian bacon and of course, eggs. For my egg muffin, he added a slice of American cheese, but he prefers his without cheese.

He butters and toasts the muffins in the oven and heats the Canadian bacon in the microwave.

Simply layer the cheese, the Canadian bacon, and the poached eggs in the muffin. Add salt and pepper to season and you have created the perfect copycat egg muffin of the egg muffin served in your favorite fast food restaurant.

Delicious Blackberry Muffin Recipe Reviewed

Fresh blackberries are always an invitation to bake something delicious! When I recently purchased some blackberries at our local farmer's market, I made Blackberry Muffins as soon as I got home. Today, I am sharing my personal blackberry muffin recipe here so you, too, can enjoy this delicious treat.

My recipe makes 18 muffins which seems like a lot at first glance. However, it didn't take my family long to devour these delicious muffins.

For either of us, when we pair these muffins with coffee, we are in a breakfast feast heaven. While I would normally say that the serving size is one muffin, in our home, the serving size is two or more muffins. They really are that good!

The Muffin Batter & Muffin Tins

This is a muffin recipe, not to be confused with cupcakes. The muffin batter is thicker and won't pour like a cake batter. I "spoon" my muffin batter into muffin tins. I bake them in non-stick muffin tins, therefore paper liners are not required. I do grease the non-stick tins with Crisco shortening and these muffins turn out easily.

My Blackberry Muffin Recipe

Prep Time	Cook Time	Ready In	Yields
20 min.	20-25 min.	45 min.	18 servings

Ingredients

1¼ cups of sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)

1/2 cup butter, softened (extra for brushing tops)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups fresh blackberries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°
Grease non-stick muffin tins with Crisco shortening
In a large mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter together. Beat in one egg at a time (adding a total of 2 eggs)
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt
Gradually mix flour mixture into butter mixture alternating with milk & beating well after each addition.
Fold in Blackberries (do not use the mixer & beaters here)
Spoon batter into greased muffin tins, approximately 2/3 full in each muffin cup
Sprinkle tops with sugar
Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Using a small silicone pastry brush, brush muffins with melted butter as soon as they are out of the oven and put back in the oven for 2 minutes
Let Cool for 5 minutes, remove from muffin tins & serve

Sweet Ginger Cheese Muffins - Recipe Review


Sweet Ginger Muffins copyright BuckHawk

Looking for easy, vegan and gluten-free muffin recipes, I came across a delicious looking sweet ginger one. But, it wasn't completely perfect to go with the soup I was planning for dinner. Therefore, I did the conversions needed to end up with Sweet Ginger Cheese Muffins.

Here I'll tell you about the original recipe along with the changes I made to create my new muffin recipe. Although my recipe is both vegan and gluten-free, I've included the easy changes you can make to convert it to standard diet fare.

The Original Muffin Recipe

Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats

One of my favorite vegan and gluten-free cookbooks is Allyson Kramer's Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats from Around the World. In her section titled Tasty Treats from Central and South America, she includes a recipe for Chilean-Style Sweet Ginger Cake. This was the recipe that enticed me into creating my own version.

Sweet Ginger Cake is meant to be a dessert. But, to go with the potato leek soup I was serving, I wanted something a bit less desserty. Ergo, less sugar and sweet ingredients and the addition of vegan cheese shreds and nutritional yeast. The result was a delicious cheesy muffin similar to sponge cake in texture.

Sweet Ginger Cheese Muffins Recipe

Ingredients and directions:

2/3 cup vegan margarine
1/3 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream these ingredients together until they form a smooth paste. I used my stand mixer for this. It just goes so much faster.

Then add in:

2 teaspoons dried, ground ginger
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 cups gram flour
1/4 cup honey, agave or other sweetner
1 1/2 cups almond milk

Mix all of this together until you have a smooth batter. Finally fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. I used a combination of Daiya brand mozzarella and cheddar style vegan shreds.

Grease and flour 12 standard muffin cups and divide the mixture among the tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Recipe Notes

For those of you who are not familiar with vegan and gluten free cooking, many of these ingredients will sound foreign. But every single one is available in health food stores and online.

If you want to make these muffins in a more conventional way, you can easily replace the vegan margarine for butter, replace both the tapioca and gram flour with all-purpose flour, skip the xanthan gum and replace the vegan versions of milk and cheese with dairy versions.

Nutritional yeast is not like standard bread yeast. It's deactivated and more similar to brewer's yeast. It adds a cheesy flavor and vitamin B12 to anything it's added to. Nutritional yeast is found in a dried version, either flakes or powder. If you don't have nutritional yeast, you may want to add more cheese shreds.

Either way you want to make this recipe, you will enjoy a combination of flavors. Unexpected combination, I agree, but the result will complement soups and stews wonderfully.

It's National Blueberry Month All Around the World

Today is National Blueberry Muffin Day! Just as these plump little berries are coming onto the market, it is time to get some great recipes, so you can fully enjoy these delicious little treats!

Let's Review some of the best recipes that are out there on the World Wide Web, for all of us who love to consume this delightful bit of heaven on earth!

Blueberries are one of the best fruits for you! Full of lots of vitamins and minerals, it has also had a lot of reported health benefits as well!.Blueberries are pretty to look at and taste even greater than they look. Naturally native to North America, blueberries have been attributed to longevity and strength. They are low in calories and high in taste! A great combination for sure. If you want to learn more about the health benefits of blueberries you can check out a link right here!

Let me just give you the highlights! 100 grams of blueberries contains about 57 calories. for those who are not in the metric system that equals about a half cup. Blueberries are full of anti-oxidants and dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. These dark blue berries even help lower blood sugar levels and control blood-glucose levels. They pack a big bang for your grocery dollar. Many people feel that blueberries add years to your life and life to your years. Added to other berries like strawberries and raspberries, the colors alone will make your mouth water.

What's even better is that you can use blueberries in so many different ways. You can eat them just as they are, like grapes, or add them to a dish of ice cream for a real treat! Blueberries can even be used in savoury dishes too! They are great in gravies, soups and stews or to add some flavor to venison dishes. Just make sure you wash them well, just like any other fruit.

Blueberries can be cooked into a jam or jelly, baked into a cake or tart, or frozen for later use. If you have a farm near you, I would highly suggest that this fruit is one you should go out and pick. The time for that is right now! Berry season this year looks like a great one. We've had the right amount of rain and sunshine so that these fruits should be available without any problems. The height of the season is June through August.

Now let's look at a few ways that you can make the most out of this incredible berry season. Eating blueberries just as they are is wonderful. Add other berries to make a lovely colorful flan, fruit cups, and mixed berry jams and jellies is a great idea too! But don't stop there. Blueberries can also be used in smoothies and making wine! My personal favorite is Blueberry Muffins. I like the flavor, texture and look of these muffins! Yummy for breakfast or as a dessert for the family. You will find so many recipes that use blueberries in this cookbook!

Blueberry muffins are so good and easy to make, I just know you will enjoy this recipe! Sam Monaco, a friend and great cook shared this recipe on his blog "Sam's Place" I've made them lots of times and I never get tired of the ease and the great taste of these delightful muffins. Enjoy!

Lemon Mini Muffin Cakes Recipe Reviewed

A few weeks ago, my mom came to our home with a special treat for my family. Lemon flavored anything is always my favorite. These little mini muffin lemon cakes were fabulous!

They were so good, I seriously could not make myself stop eating them. I finally stuck them in the microwave so they would be "out of sight, out of mind". However, the little mouse in me kept sneaking back for crumbs and tiny bites.

I don't have pictures of the making process because I was not with my mother when she baked them, but she did agree to let me share and review her recipe. Based on what she told me, this recipe is so easy, more pictures are not really needed.

They would be perfect for a party snack, dessert, breakfast, or perhaps all three if they can last all day in your home. Here, they only survived for one day before they were all gone. We had to guess at how many mini muffins this recipe made and decided it was approximately 48 mini muffins (2 batches when using the featured mini muffin pan below). If you should make them, please count them BEFORE you start eating or sharing them and return here to tell us how many muffins this recipe makes.

Stonewall Kitchen Pancake Mix, Maine Syrups & Gift Set Reviewed

Stonewall Kitchen Pancake Mix, Maple Syrup & Gift Set Reviewed

I love cooking for my family, therefore a gift for my kitchen is always the right gift.

When I received my Stonewall Kitchen gift set this year from my husband, I was immediately thrilled by the pretty blueberry batter bowl. I admit, my one weakness is mixing bowls. I love them, especially if they have a spout.

I was also pretty excited to try a new pancake mix. Turns out, I prefer the Stonewall Kitchen pancake mix to any other that I have ever tried. That is rather surprising since I have used a popular grocery store brand for decades and have always liked the flavor and texture of the store brand. However, the Stonewall Kitchen pancake & waffle mix has a better taste.

The gift set also came with Wild Maine Blueberry Jam and Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup. By now, you have probably guessed it was a blueberry themed gift set. He also gave me a bottle of Wild Maine Maple Syrup separately. Actually, he probably bought that for himself, but it was included with the gift.

Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake & Waffle Mix

Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle MixCheck Price If you love pancakes, and you prefer using a mix, you will want to try the Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake & Waffle Mix. As I said in the introduction, I was extremely surprised to find that I prefer it to the brand that I have used for a lifetime.

The mix requires that an egg, milk & melted butter be added, but I always have those on-hand, so no problem. I quickly whipped up the batter and made our first batch of pancakes. I wasn't sure what to expect since the batter was a lot thinner than other pancake batters, but my fears were unfounded. The pancakes were delicious.

When we sat down to eat, neither one of us was talking, we were too busy eating!

My Preferred Method for Cooking Pancakes

Black & Decker SK1215BC Family Sized Electric SkilletCheck PriceIt is important that I note how I cook the Stonewall Kitchen mix pancakes. I use my electric skillet, set to 350°, with about a half-inch of Crisco vegetable oil covering the bottom of the skillet. In effect, I am frying my pancakes in oil, uncovered. I turn the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the side that is up. I only turn them once.

Because the clean-up is easier, the second time I made these pancakes, I used my Cuisinart Griddler. I can also cook more pancakes at one time since the Griddler opens out flat which allows me to cook on two grills at the same time. I didn't expect there to be much difference, but there definitely was a difference. The pancakes were simply not as good. They still tasted okay, but after the first batch cooked in the electric skillet, they were disappointing.

Therefore, from now on, I will always cook my Stonewall Kitchen pancakes in oil in my electric skillet.

The Stonewall Kitchen Syrups

I am a huge fan of blueberry syrup when it is really good, but I hate it if it tastes artificial. My husband prefers Maple syrup, but like me, he is selective. It has to be real maple syrup.

Few blueberry syrups live up to my standards. Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Syrup is, by far, the best I have ever eaten!

Believe it or not, my husband has said that the Stonewall Kitchen Maine Maple Syrup is the best maple syrup he has ever tried. Big wins there for Stonewall Kitchen! We are both very picky when it comes to our pancake syrup.

Oh, and the bottles are really cute too!

Yeah, I know. Now you all want my gift set too. Well, you can't have mine, but you can have one like it. I can tell you from experience, this is a great gift for the cook.

Do note though that the blueberry set comes with blueberry syrup. You may also wish to purchase the Maine Maple Syrup separately like we did.

The gift set includes everything you see in the picture and comes wrapped in the cellophane bag tied with a Stonewall Kitchen ribbon like mine in the top photo.
