Kabocha Squash Mini Muffins image

This is a simple yet comforting muffin. Tastes more like a spice cake that will stay moist for days. I make this all throughout the fall when kabocha squash is in season.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1 (2 pound) kabocha squash, seeded and cut into wedges
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup apple cider

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease lightly with cooking spray.
  • Place kabocha squash skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Scoop squash flesh into a food processor; puree until smooth. Discard skin.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
  • Stir white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and olive oil in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in 3/4 cup pureed squash and vanilla extract.
  • Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Stir gradually into the sugar mixture, alternating with apple cider, until smooth. Pour into muffin tins, filling each cup 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but these muffins were surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making them again.

I tried these muffins with almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and they turned out great! They're a delicious and healthy snack.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover kabocha squash. They're easy to make and taste delicious. I especially love the streusel topping.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and bland. I won't be making them again.

Not bad, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of maple syrup next time.

Scrumptious kabocha squash muffins! The texture was moist and fluffy, with a delightful hint of sweetness from the squash. I loved the addition of maple syrup and cinnamon, which complemented the squash perfectly.
