Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced (3 cups)
  • 3/4 cup superfine brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup millet flour
  • 1/2 cup hazelnut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 sweet apple, such as Gala, peeled, cored, and grated (1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with 12 baking cups.

Steam squash until tender, about 10 minutes, then transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth.

In a large bowl, whisk together flours, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup squash puree, sugars, oil, vanilla, and lemon zest.

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until well incorporated, then fold in apple. Spoon batter into baking cups and sprinkle with hazelnuts.

Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

                Moist, delicate and full of flavor.  I've made these a number of times and I'm always pleased.  I've used butternut squash and also subs[filtered]uted with pumpkin.  I double the ginger and cinnamon for a little more [filtered]e.   A winner!

                Super delicious and moist. I made this into a loaf as I don't have a muffin tin and baked for 40 mins. Made it to go with a picnic lunch on the weekend and got many comments on how good it was. Lovely Autumnal Recipe!

                So the final amount of squash you add to the recipe is 1/2 cup? The directions confused me as it said 3 cups in the ingredients list. Thanks for clarifying!

                Quite possibly the best muffins I've had to date.  They were so moist and flavorful.
