Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
Make a well in center of mixture. Combine eggs and next 3 ingredients, stirring well. Add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Coat miniature muffin pans with cooking spray. Spoon about 1 Tbsp. batter into each muffin cup, about 3/4 full.
Bake at 425° for 15 mins or until done. Remove from pans immediately and serve warm.(notes: I would add some Old Bay and garlic powder, and maybe a little more cayenne to zip it up)
I actually liked these alot better than fried ones.
you might check the pups after 12 mins, with my oven, I thought 15 was a little too long.
