Tips:

  • Roast the squash before adding it to the muffins: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to mash.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour gives the muffins a heartier texture.
  • Add spices to the batter: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add a warm and inviting flavor to the muffins.
  • Top the muffins with nuts or seeds: Nuts and seeds add a crunchy texture and extra flavor to the muffins.
