Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and ¼ cup maple syrup. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Gently fold in the cooked butternut squash cubes, herbs, chopped bacon, and 3/4 cup grated cheese. (You can save some of the squash, bacon, and herbs to top the muffins with as well).
- Line your muffin pan with paper cups and fill the cups about 2/3 of the way full. Top the muffins with the remaining ½ cup of cheese and any of the reserved squash, bacon, and herbs. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
