Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh, ripe yellow squash. Look for squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color.
  • Grate the squash finely: This will help the squash incorporate evenly into the batter and will also help the muffins bake more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help the muffins rise quickly and evenly.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will help the muffins set and will also make them easier to handle.

These yellow squash cornbread muffins are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to use up any leftover squash you may have. With their moist texture, sweet corn flavor, and hint of squash, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
