Paleo Corndog Muffins

Sometimes it can be a challenge trying to eat healthy while still finding foods that young kids will eat. I like to try out fun finger foods for my two year old that fit within the paleo guidelines as often as I can. She's a pretty reliable test subject when it comes to new recipes. If she likes it, then everyone else is guaranteed to love it!
One of her favorite foods is chicken sausage. She would eat this breakfast, lunch, and dinner if we let her (and to be honest, when I was in the depths of morning sickness, she did). In order to give her a little twist on her favorite food, I decided to try out these corndog muffins. Instead of hot dogs, I used Aidell's chicken sausages (which we buy from Costco) and cut them into small chunks. They taste even better than actual corndogs! Everyone in the house helped out in devouring these. I made several batches, and the whole lot of them only lasted two days! They're great for dipping, but also amazing by themselves. These are portable, dunkable, and handheld, making them great as a game day snack, or an easy to pack lunch. They would also work well as a side dish, paired with comfort food like a big bowl of chili.




Ingredients
  • 5 uncured hotdogs or sausages 
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons ghee, melted
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 cup cashew milk, or other non-dairy milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
  1. Cut each hotdog or sausage into pieces and set aside.

  2. Preheat oven to 350° and line a muffin tin with 10 parchment paper liners. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ghee, coconut oil, honey, cashew milk, eggs, salt, and baking soda. Mix util fully combined and smooth.
  4. Divide evenly among the 10 muffin tins then top with 3 slices of hotdog or sausage each.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes.
