Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Prepare the cornbread mix in a large mixing bowl by combining the cornbread mix, milk, egg, and honey. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Slice each hot dog into thirds or quarters, depending on size, aiming for bite-sized pieces.
Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the cornbread batter until evenly distributed.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cornbread batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling each about halfway.
Place one piece of hot dog into the center of each muffin cup, pressing down slightly so it is surrounded by batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the cornbread portion comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy these Corny Dog Muffins as a fun snack, a lunchbox treat, or alongside your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard!
