Categories     breakfast, weekday, side dish

Time 40m

Yield About 1 dozen muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

130 grams all-purpose flour (about 1 cup)
100 grams whole-wheat flour (about 2/3 cup)
50 grams oats (about 1/2 cup)
55 grams light brown sugar (about 1/3 cup)
13 grams baking powder (about 1 tablespoon)
3 grams fine sea salt (about 1 teaspoon)
3 grams ground cinnamon (about 1 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup maple syrup
130 grams finely shredded butternut squash (about 1 1/2 cups)
35 grams finely chopped candied ginger (about 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, spices and lemon zest. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter and maple syrup. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir with a rubber spatula until almost combined - the batter will be very thick. Then fold in the shredded squash and candied ginger.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tin. Bake for 20 minutes or so, or until the muffins are lightly golden and spring back when touched. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before turning them out on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Prep the Butternut Squash in Advance: To save time, roast or microwave the butternut squash a day ahead and let it cool completely before using.
  • Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries provide a bright, tart flavor to the muffins. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups Properly: Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to rise and spill over during baking.
  • Bake the Muffins Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the muffins are fully baked.

Conclusion:

These butternut squash and cranberry muffins are packed with flavor and perfect for fall baking. They're moist, fluffy, and filled with tender butternut squash and tart cranberries. They're also easy to make, so they're perfect for busy weekmornings or weekend brunches.
