Butternut squash loaf... or muffins




Sometimes I feel like I have a morgue in my freezer...of bananas. I usually have a good whack of them in there, but today I saw something else. A jar of squash puree smiling at me. I thought it would be a good candidate for a loaf, and I was right. There was a little extra batter so I made a few mini muffins for the kids, topped off with a little Tofutti cream cheese!


Butternut Squash Loaf- or muffins

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup organic cane sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups squash puree
2 tbsp black strap molasses
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup water

pumpkin seeds

Preheat oven to 350
Whisk dry ingredients together
Combine wet in a small bowl.
Pour wet into dry. Mix up well.
In a greased loaf pan, sprinkle pumpkin seeds over and bake for 50 minutes or until done.
