Ingredients

  • 1 Large butternut squash cut into halves lengthways, seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1/2 Cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

  • pinch of salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. 
  2. Place the squash in a roasting tin and cut the cut sides up. Drizzle with olive oil and turn it cut side down into the roasting tin.
  3. Roast for 45-50 minutes or until fork tender. Once roasted, allow it to cool, then scoop all the flesh out into a bowl.
  4. Add in eggs, butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Whisk with a hand mixer until well combined and fluffy.
  5. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and add in the butternut squash mixture, layering it evenly with a spatula. 
  6. In a mixing bowl, add all topping ingredients except pecans. Toss with a fork until moist crumbs form, then stir in the pecans.
  7. Layer the topping evenly over the butternut squash mixture, then bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Enjoy it warm or cold!

Notes

  •  
  • Don't like butternut squash, swap with sweet potatoes 
  • Instead of pecan, you can use almonds or walnuts.
  • In place of butter, you may use coconut oil.
  • Don't have coconut sugar? Use brown sugar.
