Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances!  Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops.  My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀  You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey  Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown. 

Corndog Muffins

Corndog muffins are my kids favorite. My son recently had surgery and needed soft foods for a few days so I made these in bulk. Needless to say, he's sick of corndog muffins lol 

You Will Need:
1/2 Cup Butter (homemade)
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Large Eggs
1 Cup Buttermilk (homemade)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda (Bob's Red Mill)
1 Cup Cornmeal (Bob's Red Mill)
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 tsp Salt
10-12 All-Beef Hot Dogs
Cream sugar and butter together
This is what it'll look like, scrape down the sides before continuing
Add eggs, and mix well (with either a hand mixer or your KitchenAid stand mixer
Add buttermilk; homemade buttermilk makes this recipe so creamy and so much better than plain old store bought; so take the time to make it yourself as its simply the easiest ever. (Baby, I'm worth it!... Uh huh I'm Worth it! tuning my daughters favorite song!)
Add dry ingredients and mix well
Scrape down the sides; at this point I like to turn the batter a couple times to make sure I got all the dry ingredients are incorporated
Place 1 tbsp into your mini muffin tin (I greased mine with butter really well, or you could use coconut oil)
Cut hot dogs into 1" pieces, I cut the ends off and feed them to my dogs; or you can microwave the ends and enjoy yourself
Place hot dogs in the middle of the muffin batter, and press down
Beautiful (I used one end in the middle it looked so ugly!)
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes; leave in muffin tin to cool for 5 minutes, then use a knife to help release the muffins. To reuse the pan (I had to 3 times) re-grease and continue on
So yummy and beautiful! My kids love these! When they take them to school for lunch, they told me all the kids said "you have the coolest mom ever!" "my mom does not make me those!" "they look so good! Can I have one?" Funny... You can be the coolest mom just by making healthier corndog muffins!
