Vegan Corn Dog Bites

Ingredients

• 8 oz Vegan hot dogs
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Plant-based milk
• 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. 1Cut each of the 8 oz vegan hot dogs into 1-inch pieces.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
3. 3Add the 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 cup plant-based milk to the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spoon until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups vegetable oil into a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Dip each 1-inch piece of vegan hot dog into the batter, turning to make sure it is completely coated.
6. 6Carefully place the battered hot dog pieces into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and looks crispy.
7. 7Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried corn dog bites from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. 8Serve the vegan corn dog bites immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup.
