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.

SUMMER SQUASH MUFFINS



Summer Squash Muffins image

This is a nice way to use up some summer squash. I used yellow summer squash because I have an abundance in my garden, but it would work just as well with zucchini. I used about half as much oil as similar recipes use, but more squash than other recipes. Lots of people sub apple sauce for oil, but in this case, I just subbed extra squash for oil, which does the same thing.Finally, I keep bees and always have lots of honey. If you don't have honey, you should add an extra 1/3 c sugar, a few Tbs of water, and a Tbs of vanilla to give it flavor. I don't use vanilla if I'm using honey, in order to enjoy the honey flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For the best flavor and texture, use young, tender yellow summer squash. Look for squash that is firm to the touch and has smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Grate the squash: Grating the squash is the easiest way to incorporate it into the muffins. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

These yellow summer squash muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this summer vegetable. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
