How To Make Keto Mini Corn Dogs
Start by using good-quality hot dogs; my favorite is Nathan’s Famous since it has zero fillers and no gluten or corn syrup. You will cut it into 36 small pieces.
Then, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Next, in another large bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, and cornbread extract. These are your wet ingredients.
Then, it’s just a matter of mixing the wet and dry ingredients together and adding the melted butter to the batter.
Once the cornbread batter is made, add a hot dog piece upright in the center of each muffin cavity and about a tablespoon of batter, making sure to cover the top of the hot dogs.
You’ll bake your minis for about 20 to 35 minutes in a preheated oven until golden brown, and serve them with a side of mustard or sugar-free ketchup, sugar-free BBQ sauce, or mustard.
Best Keto Cornbread Extract
Using a keto-friendly cornbread extract amplifies the flavor of “corn” in this mock corn dog recipe. It’s a way to further fool your tastebuds.
And that’s why I highly encourage you to give it a try.
The use of corn extract is effective in getting the flavor of cornbread without the use of any corn, and that’s crucial anytime you want all the flavor but none of the carbs.
OOOflavors cornbread flavored concentrate has managed to create a cornbread extract that has zero calories, zero sugar, and zero carbs.
Would you like to save this?
Since it’s a highly concentrated extract, a tiny amount is all you need to get the corn flavor.
I recommend using six drops of cornbread extract in this recipe to see if it elevates the flavor further.
Yummy corn dogs are headed your way with this zero-carb extract!

Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective; it’s the filter we choose to see from.
When we decided to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.
To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s lead to embrace the ketogenic diet and combine it with our faith, we got on the path to real transformation.
If you are looking for a Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives, we invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
