SPICED BUTTERNUT SQUASH MUFFINS



Spiced Butternut Squash Muffins image

These muffins are so delicious. I made this recipe because I couldn't find squash muffins that were very tasty. You won't be able to keep these on the table.

Provided by Lindsay Ho

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Muffin Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound peeled, seeded and cubed butternut squash
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¾ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
  • In a medium saucepan with enough water to cover, boil squash 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and puree in a food processor.

  • In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together milk, egg and butter. Stir in squash. Fold the squash mixture into the flour mixture just until moistened.

Tips:

  • Use ripe butternut squash: For the best flavor, choose a butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color.
  • Roast the butternut squash: Roasting the butternut squash brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor.
  • Use a food processor to puree the butternut squash: This will ensure that the squash is smooth and evenly incorporated into the muffin batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips: Once the batter is mixed, gently fold in the chocolate chips. This will prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature: Baking the muffins at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) will help them to rise evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Test the muffins for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash chocolate chip muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast food. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of butternut squash, chocolate chips, and spices creates a unique and flavorful muffin that is sure to please everyone.
