Gluten Free Baked Corn Dogs

Earlier sunsets, chillier nights and the sounds of laughter and screaming from a fun fair are some of my favorite things about autumn. Every time I went to a fair growing up, I'd get a corn dog. There's nothing spectacular or posh about them, but they're a lovely, carnival food. The star of the show with these gluten free corn dogs is the fluffy chickpea flour and polenta batter.

My version is a healthier take on the usual with polenta based gluten-free batter and then baked in an oven instead of deep fried. Although, I think it would be interesting to thin out the batter a bit more and try them fried. Chickpea flour works well as a frying flour, so you should get good results if you have a go. And if you do follow my recipe but pop them in oil to fry, let me know how they turn out!

As you can see from the photos, I served these corn dogs with simple oven fries and lashings of ketchup and mustard. That's all you need for a hearty lunch. If you want to make these for dinner, pop a bowl of frozen peas in the microwave to steam and you'll have a more balanced supper treat.

Ingredients:

For the gluten free baked corn dogs
1 egg
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

  2. I love this idea! My husband is worried is he is allergic to gluten, so I think I'd love to try these on him.
