Whether you like squash or not, you really should try this bread. You will be glad you did. It is similar to pumpkin bread, but so much better. It is very moist and flavorful. The recipe is from my mom. She used to make it years ago for the holidays and I still have fond memories.

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp each of the following: nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, salt
COMBINE THESE TOGETHER IN YOUR FOOD PROCESSOR
1 1/4 c cooked butternut squash (see instructions below for cooking) or use good quality canned squash drained
1/2 c brown sugar (dark or light is fine)
1/2 c sugar- i use pure sugar cane sugar as opposed to processed sugar
1/2 c apple sauce or vegetable oil (the applesauce is a much healther alternative but it will add some sweetness)
2 large eggs
1/4 c water
ADD AFTER THE BATTER IS MADE
1/2 c pecans or walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. *To cook the Butternut Squash, cut into four sections and remove all the seeds. Place skin side up in a baking pan and add about 1/2-1 inch of water. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until the fork pierces easily. Pour out excess water, allow to cool and remove the skin. Approximately 1/2 the squash equals 1 and 1/4 cups need for the recipe.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, sift together the first 3 ingredients.
  • 3. In the food processor, process the cooked squash until smooth. Then add the next five ingredients and process until combined.
  • 4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • 5. Add the nuts if desired.
  • 6. Pour into a greased 9X5 inch loaf pan and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a firm, heavy squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Peel and cube the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, use a sharp knife to peel the squash and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  • Roast the squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the bread batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed squash, sugar, eggs, and oil.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Bake the bread: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
