Butternut Squash Bread
Report
Keep in mind this recipe works with most winter squash. Butternuts are drier, though, so if you use a pumpkin you might need some more flour.

Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon clove
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar or honey
- 500 grams finely grated squash (17 1/2 ounces)
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons squash seed oil (optional)
- 1 cup melted butter, or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk (skip if using pumpkin instead of squash)
- 3/4 cup pepitas or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and powder, salt, spices and sugar. In another bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, squash, melted butter, and the squash oil if using. Pour the wet into the dry and mix well. Fold in the pepitas.
- The mixture should be a pourable but very thick batter. If it's too dry, add milk. Too wet, add flour. Pour this into a loaf pan, and sprinkle some more pepitas on top. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread stand 10 minutes out of the oven once it's done, then turn it onto a cooling rack.
Notes
- This recipe makes one loaf.
