BUTTERNUT SQUASH, COCONUT, AND GINGER MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with liners. Whisk eggs, butter, buttermilk, ginger, and 2/3 cup brown sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Mix egg mixture into dry ingredients with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Mix in squash, coconut, and pecans.
• Divide batter among muffin cups, filling to the brim (about 1/2 cup batter per muffin). Sprinkle remaining 2 Tbsp. brown sugar on top.
• Bake muffins, rotating pan halfway through, until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30-32 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely.
