Keto Corn Dog Mini Muffins are a delicious mouthful of low-carb goodness. Made with 7 ingredients total, you can whip these up for your Super Bowl parties, children’s birthdays, or even a low-carb Easter brunch. They’re super easy to make and an adorable appetizer or kid-friendly snack.
Keto Corn Dog Mini Muffins Recipe
The base of this easy low-carb snack recipe is almond flour. All you need to make it in addition to the almond flour is flaxmeal, eggs, vinegar, salt, baking soda, and hot dogs. Really, it’s that easy! This Keto Corn Dog Mini Muffin recipe is based on my beloved Low-Carb Cornbread recipe which has only 6 ingredients total!
Low-Carb Serving Suggestions
We like to serve these with mustard which is a great low-carb condiment. I stay away from store-bought ketchup since it often has added sugar, but it’s very easy to make your own low-carb ketchup. The boys like to eat these with Cholula sauce to add a spicy kick!
- 1 cup blanched almond flour (not almond meal)
- 2 tablespoons golden flaxmeal
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 large eggs
- 4 hot dogs, cut into 1 inch pieces
- In a food processor combine almond flour, flaxmeal, baking soda, and salt
- Pulse in vinegar and eggs
- Transfer batter 1 tablespoon at a time to a paper lined mini muffin pan
- Place one piece of hot dog into each muffin cup
- Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes
- Cool 15 minutes
- Serve
Dairy-Free Keto Snack Recipe
It’s so hard to find good keto recipes that are dairy-free. But these Keto Corn Dog Mini Muffins are perfect if you’re on a low-carb, dairy-free diet. And although not all keto recipes are gluten-free and paleo, these are, because I made them. I’ve been on a gluten-free diet since 1998. I went on a grain-free diet in 2001 and it’s been so helpful, I’ve stuck with it ever since.
More Low-Carb Snack Recipes
Here are more healthy gluten-free, low-carb snack recipes for you. I spend quite a bit of time developing my recipes so that they have as few ingredients as possible and work every time. All of my recipes are not just gluten-free, but grain-free too. I hope you love all of these low-carb snacks as much as we do!
Caroline says
Hi there. Why almond flour and not meal. Would almond meal still work in your opinion?

Marisa A Buchsbaum says
They are delicious but did stick to the muffin liners. I will make again but next time will spray liners. 😍
Elana says
Marisa, if you use the ingredients and brands I link to in the recipe they will not stick to the liners :-)
Pattsy D says
I just made these for lunch and they turned out excellent. I didn’t have the mini papers so put them in the larger muffin tins. It made 9 larger muffins. They were so good. I loved them.
Elana says
Pattsy, thanks so much for letting me know you loved these muffins!
Amy Jean says
Hi Elana,
Friends are coming next week, & we all are following the Keto Diet. These look wonderful! Elana, is it necessary to spray, the mini muffin cup liners with coconut oil spray. I have no problem to spray because I would not like for them to stick to the paper? Thanks for ALL your amazing recipes!
Elana says
Amy, I haven’t ever had to do that. Thanks for letting me know you are enjoying my recipes :-)
amy Jean says
Thanks Elana!
I will also not spray, as you have done & most likely they will peal off easily! :)
Thanks for the quick response!
Elana says
Amy Jean, you’re very welcome!

M. Moore says
Okay, didn’t have time to wait for a reply…it turned out great without the flaxmeal. Even my non-Keto family members liked them. Of course, since I haven’t tried it with the flax meal, I don’t know what I am missing.
Elana says
M, thanks for letting me know that even your non-keto family members liked these muffins!
M. Moore says
What does the flax meal do in this recipe? I don’t have any and I am in the middle of an ice storm without the opportunity to get any. Can this be made without it?
Elana says
M. it helps with the flavor, texture, and color in this recipe :-)
Mary Louise says
Would it work to spray the pan instead of using paper liners?
Elana says
Mary Louise, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Nicole R. says
I just sprayed my pans instead of using paper liners and it worked out perfect.
Alexis H. says
Elana,
Is there a difference between golden flaxmeal and bob’s ground flax meal? Wondering about consistency differences or flavor? I think you used to use bob’s years ago, but I could be wrong on that. Anyway, that is what I have on hand right now. I’m good with experimenting, just like to have info when I’m considering substitutions. Thanks!
Elana says
Alexis, I haven’t tried that flaxmeal in this recipe so not sure if it will work :-)
Renee says
These are fabulous! My husband and I ate half of them for lunch yesterday and the other half today with mustard and relish. Super super good!!! Thanks!
Elana says
Renee, thanks so much for letting me know these are super super good! We love them too :-)
Maria says
Like Tania mentioned, I will make these for my work chili cook-off in a few weeks but I’m also making them tomorrow!! Thanks for another winner!!
Elana says
Maria, you’re welcome!
Carli J Goeman says
I have never used flaxmeal, but I have quinoa flakes, do you know if the consistency is similar? I’m hoping to make these for tomorrow!
Elana says
Carli, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried that so not sure. I gave up quinoa in 2001 when I went grain-free and haven’t had it since. Sorry I can’t be more helpful :-)
Cindy Fraser says
Hey Elena
Is the ground flaxseed crucial to the outcome of the dough or just a healthy add in? I don’t have any. Could I grind up chia seeds instead?
Thanks!
Elana says
Cindy, I haven’t tried making this without flaxmeal so not sure if it will work. Feel free to experiment :-)
Susan Z. says
Quinoa is 64% carbohydrate, so wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of a Keto recipe? Or am I missing something?
Elana says
Susan, I totally agree, but some folks are here for gluten-free recipes as well :-)
Ann Marie Fleet says
Is it possible to know the carb count for these recipes please?
Elana says
Ann, thanks for your comment! For more on that please go here:

TaNia says
My daughter is allergic to tree nuts and I was wondering if there is any other flour I could sub and still be Keto, like coconut..?
Elana says
TaNia, unfortunately that won’t work. For more on the difference between flours please go here:

Have a lovely day!

Tania says
What a clever idea! This would have been perfect for the chili cook-off we had at the office last week, but I’ll keep it in mind for next time. Thank you, and blessings on your day.
Elana says
Tania, you’re welcome!
