PERFECT BUTTERNUT SQUASH MUFFINS
Similar to pumpkin muffins, these are a great way to use up butternut squash and are not too high in sugar. Even my picky husband enjoys these! Feel free to play around with the spice amounts to your liking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 20 muffin cups.
- Cut a 1/2-inch hole into the larger part of the squash and cover with a damp paper towel.
- Cook squash in a microwave oven in 3-minute increments, turning slightly after each increment, until squash can be easily pierced with a fork, 9 to 12 minutes. Set aside until cool to the touch, about 20 minutes.
- Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Measure 1 1/2 cups squash into a large bowl. Mash eggs, water, vegetable oil, white sugar, and brown sugar into the squash. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice into the squash mixture until you have a smooth batter. Fold raisins and walnuts into the batter.
- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND CRANBERRY MUFFINS
I got some butternut squash and cranberries (both I am not fond of) in my 'Bountiful Basket' last week. Not having a clue what to do with them, I came up with this surprisingly yummy muffin. I made up this recipe with what I had on hand. It is really very light, tasty, and not too sweet. I serve mine with honey or sweetened cream cheese. If possible, always choose organic.

Tips:
- Choose ripe butternut squash: Look for squash with a deep orange color and firm flesh. Avoid squash with blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the butternut squash before using it in the muffins: Roasting concentrates the squash's flavor and makes it sweeter.
- Use unsweetened coconut milk: Sweetened coconut milk will make the muffins too sweet.
- Grate the ginger fresh: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
These butternut squash, coconut, and ginger muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with flavor and nutrients, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a muffin recipe, give these a try. You won't be disappointed!
