Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup diced onion
2 cups grated butternut squash, packed
1 teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup garbanzo-fava bean flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
3 tablespoons corn flour (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup sour cream for garnish
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Place butternut squash in a large bowl, and season with curry powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss with a fork, then stir in the egg, garbanzo-fava bean flour, and corn flour. Mix in cooled onions.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the butternut squash mixture into the pan. Flatten to a patty about 1/4-inch thick. Pan fry until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.
  • Top with sour cream and pumpkin seeds before serving.

Overall, I thought these cakes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The cakes didn't hold together very well when I tried to flip them in the pan. I think I might have needed to cook them for a bit longer.

I found that the cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the pecans. The cakes still turned out great.

I added a bit of chopped bacon to the batter for an extra savory flavor. It was a great addition!
