Baked Corn Dogs are a crispy thin layer of sweetened cornmeal crust surrounding a juicy hot dog that can be dipped in a little mustard or ketchup for a healthy take on a State Fair classic.
Dip the hot dogs into the batter and cover a good amount of batter around the hot dog. Lay them onto a large baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or the batter is golden brown. If desired, stick a wooden skewer in one end of the corn dog to help feel like eating it off the stick!

A Mom on a Corn Dog Mission
As soon as I saw the signs pop up around town advertising the state fair, I started thinking about making my own corn dogs at home. It’s something I had never made before, so I was pretty excited and on a mission to make them amazing.
I wanted to be able to serve them to Baker for lunch or dinner without any guilt, so I went with a baked version that uses white whole wheat flour and lean beef hot dogs. After a few tries to master the baked technique, I nailed it! I mean nailed it!
These baked corn dogs are surprisingly amazing! A crispy thin layer of cornmeal dough surrounds a juicy hot dog that can be dipped in a little mustard or ketchup for a healthy take on a state fair classic.
