Keto Corn Dog Ingredients

For the batter:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 2 tbsp coconut flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream)

• 1 tbsp melted butter

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for structure)

For frying:

• 6-8 beef hot dogs (or any keto-friendly sausage)

• 2 tbsp coconut flour (for dusting)

• Avocado oil or coconut oil for frying

• Wooden skewers or popsicle sticks

How to Make Keto Corn Dogs

Step 1: Prep the Hot Dogs

1. Pat dry the hot dogs with a paper towel (this helps the batter stick).

2. Insert skewers into each hot dog, leaving enough space to hold them.

3. Lightly dust each hot dog with coconut flour to help the batter stick.

Step 2: Make the Batter

1. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika.

2. In another bowl, whisk the egg, almond milk, and melted butter until smooth.

3. Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well.

4. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese to make the batter slightly thicker.

Step 3: Coat the Hot Dogs

1. Pour the batter into a tall glass (this makes dipping easier).

2. Dip each hot dog into the batter, twirling to fully coat. Let excess batter drip off.

3. Place coated corn dogs on a parchment-lined tray while the oil heats.

Step 4: Fry to Perfection

1. Heat avocado oil or coconut oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

2. Carefully place the battered hot dogs into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

3. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!

✅ Serve with sugar-free ketchup, mustard, or homemade keto honey mustard.
