Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound yellow summer squash
10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter (melted)
1 large egg
2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
⅔ cup (5 ounces) white sugar
2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the sliced summer squash in a medium saucepan, add about three cups of water and heat on high until water comes to a boil.
  • When water reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium and cover the pan. Simmer squash for 5 minutes. When squash is done, a fork should pierce through easily. Drain the squash in a colander.
  • Place drained summer squash in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the melted butter and egg to blender and mix for a few seconds until thoroughly mixed.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the blended squash mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just barely mixed (being careful not to overmix).
  • Fill greased muffin cups and bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the muffin tins slightly before removing to a wire rack. Delicious when warm or at room temperature. These are also very good eaten the next day.

nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons trans-fat free margarine, chilled
1 cup lemon low fat yogurt
1 cup blueberries
1/2 cup yellow squash puree
1 large egg
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 cups flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with a cooking spray or line with paper baking cups.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar and the margarine with a wooden spoon. Stir in the yogurt, blueberries, yellow squash puree, egg, lemon extract, and lemon zest.
  • Add the flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir just to combine, but do not overmix - the batter is supposed to be lumpy.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups. BAke until the tops of the muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick come out clean when inserted in the center, 13 to 16 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Use firm, ripe yellow squash for the best flavor and texture.
  • Grate the squash finely: This will help it blend into the batter more easily and evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These yellow squash muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy this summer vegetable. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The addition of yellow squash makes them moist and flavorful, and the cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm, autumnal flavor. Serve these muffins with your favorite toppings, such as butter, honey, or cream cheese.
