Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Trader Joe’s Cornbread Mix
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk unsweetened
  • 1 chia egg 1 tablespoon chia seeds + 5 tablespoon water, mixed and rested for 5 mins. Substitue with 1 tablespoon flax meal with 3 tablespoons of water.
  • ⅓ cup neutral oil
  • 4 vegan sausages sliced into a little less than 1 inch pieces; sub with carrot dogs or hot dogs
  • cooking spray or oil for greasing the muffin tin

Instructions
 

  • Before Baking: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Chia Egg: Prepare the chia egg by mixing one tablespoon of chia seeds with five tablespoons of water. Mix and let sit for about 10 minutes or until it gels.
  • Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cornbread mix, non-dairy milk, chia egg, and oil. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
  • Assemble: Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup, filling them about ⅔ full. Press one slice of the sausage into the center of each cup.
  • Bake and Cool: Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden and cooked through. Let cool for a few minutes, then pop them out and place on a cooling rack.

Notes

Nutritional information is only an estimation.
If you prefer the sausage hidden, press the slices down into the batter and spoon a little more on top to fully cover them.
To make these into Halloween snacks or appetizers, add a line of ketchup or mustard for “blood” (optional), a stuffed green olive for the eye, and then use a julienne peeler to shave some green apple eyebrows or eyelashes for the eye. See the picture in the post for inspiration.
