Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Fine cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 Large egg
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 8 Turkey or chicken hot dogs (sugar-free)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 8 Wooden skewers or toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Cut each hot dog in half and insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into each piece, leaving enough handle for easy dipping and frying.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well-incorporated.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip each hot dog into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Step 7
Carefully place the batter-coated hot dogs into the hot oil. Fry in small batches for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the mini corn dogs from the oil and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the sugar-free mini corn dogs warm with your favorite sugar-free dipping sauce.
