Vegan Corn Dogs - Vegan recipe hero image

Growing up, corn dogs were a summer staple at fairs and festivals, and I always looked forward to indulging in them.

This vegan version brings back those memories while keeping it completely plant-based.

It’s so much fun to make these at home and impress my friends with a healthier twist on a classic favorite.

Plus, they’re baked instead of fried, which makes them even better for you!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using almond almond milk, but any unsweetened plant almond milk works great here. You can also swap out the vegan hot dogs for your favorite plant-based vegan sausage or even grilled veggies for a twist!

Tips & Notes

  • I often make a double batch and freeze half for quick snacks later on - just reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
  • Feel free to experiment with spices in the batter; a sprinkle of smoked paprika can add a nice depth.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I add a bit of nutritional yeast to the batter for a cheesy flavor.
  • You could also stuff the hot dogs with a bit of vegan cheese before dipping for an extra surprise!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to keep them crispy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup and plant almond milk, then mix well.

  4. 4

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.

  5. 5

    Take each vegan hot dog and coat it lightly with cornstarch to help the batter stick.

  6. 6

    Insert a wooden skewer into each hot dog, making sure it goes in about halfway.

  7. 7

    Dip each hot dog into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each corn dog to help them crisp up in the oven.

  9. 9

    Bake for about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

  10. 10

    Let them cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauces!
