  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 15 minute

Ingredients

– 1 cup butternut squash puree (cooked and cooled)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– ½ cup whole wheat flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup brown sugar, packed
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
– 2 large eggs
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)


Instructions

Creating Butternut Squash Muffins is a pleasant endeavor if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the muffin tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
4. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the butternut squash puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
6. Add nuts: If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
7. Fill the muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
