Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for small to medium-sized squash with a deep orange color and no blemishes. This ensures a sweeter and more flavorful muffin.
  • Roast the butternut squash: Roasting intensifies the squash's natural sweetness and brings out its nutty flavor. Make sure to pierce the squash with a fork before roasting to prevent it from bursting.
  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples add a crisp texture and a touch of sweetness to the muffins. Choose a variety that holds its shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Keep an eye on them while toasting to prevent burning.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork it.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: This ensures that the muffins bake evenly and have a uniform shape.
  • Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done baking.

Conclusion:

These Butternut Squash, Apple, and Hazelnut Muffins are a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The roasted butternut squash adds a sweet and nutty flavor, while the fresh apples provide a crisp and tart contrast. The toasted hazelnuts add a crunchy texture and a nutty aroma. With their moist and fluffy texture, these muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash and apples.
