Recipe: Baked Corn Dogs

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8-10 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 2 corn dogs

Ingredients

  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
  • ½ tablespoon sugar (or substitute your favorite sweetener)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 package turkey hot dogs (8 turkey hot dogs)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all of the batter ingredients together until the batter comes together.
  3. Insert a popsicle stick in each hot dog, leaving about 2 inches at the bottom to hold.
  4. Hold the end of the popsicle stick and spoon the batter all over the hot dog in the batter bowl, coating all sides. Allow the excess batter to drip back into the bowl. With the back of the spoon, scrape the back end of the hot dog so there is only a thin layer of batter on the side being placed down on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until evenly browned.
