Hot Dog Cornbread Muffins

This recipe uses yogurt instead of oil and is pretty darn healthy (I mean. Besides the hot dog part.) I wouldn’t use it to make a loaf of cornbread all by itself, but the kids love it. I serve it with ketchup and mustard! It’s like a corn dog, minus all the frying.

Important note! Don’t use muffin liners for this recipe. Just grease the tin well. I know my photos show liners…and I’m still losing 1/4 of each muffin trying to get it off. Don’t be like me :)
