Guess what tomorrow is? Exactly one week until Revenge and Walking Dead come back from their hiatuses. Oh and also the Super Bowl! Speaking of the super bowl these corn dog muffins would be the perfect finger food treat to bring along with yesterday’s veggie dip – of course. 😉
Use your favorite vegan ‘dog’ or use baby carrots and take the less processed route. Either way they will be delicious! Serve with ketchup, mustard, grilled onions and sauerkraut.
Which reminds me, tomorrow I will share the story of my latest sauerkraut endeavors and the strange happenings that took place outside of the crock. Suspenseful, right?
I made a version of these muffins a little over a month ago but wanted another chance at perfecting them. The last batch were too salty and fell apart a little bit. Today’s batch were not too salty and stay together great but aren’t dense – even after sitting out for a few hours.
I know you will love them.

Don’t the carrot ones look funny? Teehee.
Mmm! Just right.
So what’s on your schedule for tomorrow? Just anticipation for next weeks Sunday night line-up or will you be rooting for a favorite team? xo
Have you tried marinating the baby carrots, like you would a regular carrot dog?
Hi Ginelle! I have not, but I have some liquid smoke that’s just waiting for the job. 🙂 Have you?
No I haven’t. I was kind of afraid that the flavor would disapate in the corn bread but I guess I am just going to have to give it a try. 😉
