Ingredients
- 1 cup butternut squash (250g) (Peel and deseed 1 small butternut squash, chop into small cubes and steam them until soft, then puree).
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (plain flour)(225g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon or 3 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (75g)
- ¼ cup brown sugar (50g)
- 2 egg
- ½ cup butter melted (125g)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases.
- Peel and deseed the butternut squash, then chop into small cubes. Steam or microwave them until soft, then puree. You will need 1 cup/250g puree. The rest can be saved for another recipe. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and both sugars together in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk the butternut squash purée and eggs together in a jug, then add to the dry ingredients with the melted butter. Beat for a minute or so to combine, then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tray ¾ full and bake for 15 mins until golden and risen and a skewer or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Place the muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- The butternut squash muffins will keep for 4 days in an airtight container.
