Acorn Squash Bread image

I had a half a roasted acorn squash in the refrigerator that needed to be used and wondered if I could use it to make a quick bread. I used some instructions from a banana bread recipe that I had and tweaked it a little for the squash. The bread turned out really good and now I usually make it instead of banana or zucchini...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c mashed, cooked acorn squash
1/4 c water
2 Tbsp water
3/4 c light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350%. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray ans set it aside.
  • 2. Remove cooked squash from the rind and mash it with a fork. Add water, melted butter, brown sugar, sour cream and eggs to the squash in a large bowl and mix well.
  • 3. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together and then add the dry ingredients to the squash mixture. Stir just until blended.
  • 4. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake it until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean - approximately one hour depending on your oven.
  • 5. When bread is done, place the pan on a cooling rack for about 5 - 10 minutes and then turn the bread out of the pan to finish cooling.
  • 6. This bread can certainly be served and eaten warm with some butter spread on it! Enjoy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as moist as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time.

I'm not usually a fan of squash, but this bread was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the squash was balanced out by the spices, and the texture was nice and moist.

This acorn squash bread was a hit! It was moist and flavorful, with a beautiful golden brown crust. I loved the addition of nuts and raisins, which gave it a nice crunch and sweetness.
