WINTER SQUASH MUFFINS WITH RAISINS AND SPICE



Winter Squash Muffins With Raisins and Spice image

Take the squah you want! I used mini potimarrons I had from a local organic farmer, I didn't know what to do with them so I made up this recipe. But they would surely be excellent with pumpkin, acorn or Hubbard squash. This muffin is made with grated squash instead of the usual puree, so there are less steps when you use fresh squash.

Time 20m

Yield 12 mufffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups flour (weigh 6 ounces for gluten free)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon clove
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 egg
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (vinegar will do)
1/2 cup soymilk (you can use another liquid)
1 1/2 cups packed grated squash
1/2 cup sultana

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. For the muffin tins, you can either use non-stick or line them with parchment paper cups. Don't use regular paper cups, the muffins will stick to them. Perhaps greasing and flouring would work too.
  • In a small bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg and honey together, then add the oil gradually, then the lemon juice, and finally add the soymilk and mix until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients, mix roughly with a rubber spatula, add the squash and raisins and mix until there are no more pockets of flour.
  • Distribute evenly in the 12 muffin tins, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Cool on a wire rack. As with any baked goods with spices, they will become more flavourful as they age. Tasting them right out of the oven might be a little disappointing!

Tips:

  • For best results, choose spaghetti squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Be sure to cook the spaghetti squash until it is tender all the way through. You can test this by piercing it with a fork; it should slide in easily.
  • If you are short on time, you can microwave the spaghetti squash instead of baking it. To do this, simply prick the squash a few times with a fork and microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings and seasonings for your muffins. Some other popular options include:
    • Sautéed mushrooms and onions
    • Chopped cooked chicken or turkey
    • Bacon bits
    • Shredded cheese
    • Different herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika
  • To make your muffins even more special, try topping them with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Spaghetti squash muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can be easily customized to suit your tastes.
