BUTTERNUT SQUASH MUFFINS WITH A FROSTY TOP



Butternut Squash Muffins with a Frosty Top image

My kids love these squash muffins. They taste a bit like carrot cake, as the two vegetables are very similar - I've simply swapped carrots for squash. Both of them are wonderful carriers of flavors like cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The skin of a butternut squash goes deliciously chewy and soft when cooked, so there's no need to peel it off. Give these little cakes a go - they're a perfect naughty-but-nice treat. And a great way of getting your kids to eat squash!

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

14 ounces butternut squash, skin on, deseeded and roughly chopped
2 1/4 cups light soft brown sugar
4 large free-range or organic eggs
Sea salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
2 heaping teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Handful of walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clementine, zested
1 lemon, zested
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 heaping tablespoons icing sugar, sifted
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
Lavender flowers or rose petals, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line your muffin tins with paper cups.
  • Whiz the squash in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the sugar, and crack in the eggs. Add a pinch of salt, the flour, baking powder, walnuts, cinnamon and olive oil and whiz together until well beaten. You may need to pause the machine at some point to scrape the mix down the sides with a rubber spatula. Try not to overdo it with the mixing - you want to just combine everything and no more.
  • Fill the paper cups with the muffin mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Check to see whether they are cooked properly by sticking a wooden skewer or a knife right into one of the muffins - if it comes out clean, they're done. If it's a bit sticky, pop them back into the oven for a little longer. Remove from the oven and leave the muffins to cool on a wire rack.
  • As soon as the muffins are in the oven, make your runny frosted topping. Place most of the clementine zest, all the lemon zest and the lemon juice in a bowl. Add the sour cream, icing sugar and vanilla seeds and mix well. Taste and have a think about it - adjust the amount of lemon juice or icing sugar to balance the sweet and sour. Put into the fridge until your muffins have cooled down, then spoon the topping onto the muffins.
  • Serve on a lovely plate (on a cake stand if you're feeling elegant, or on a rustic slab if you're more of a hunter-gatherer type!), with the rest of the clementine zest sprinkled over. For an interesting flavor and look, a few dried lavender flowers or rose petals are fantastic.

It is often used in soup/stew or can be cooked on a grill and often used as a mash added to various dishes. Grilled butternut is normally either seasoned with spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the butternut squash properly: Roasting the butternut squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the squash for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly browned.
  • Use fresh cornbread mix: For the best results, use a fresh cornbread mix. If you don't have any fresh cornbread mix on hand, you can make your own using a recipe from the internet or a cookbook.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups properly: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill the cups too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash cornbread muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can even enjoy them as a snack. With their sweet and savory flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give butternut squash cornbread muffins a try. You won't be disappointed.
