Butternut squash muffins - yummy (yes really!)

[mumbojumbo]

Found this recipe on the bbc website which ds1 and I made this morning. Absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

½ butternut squash, peeled and grated
110g/4oz self-raising flour
110g/4oz soft brown sugar
110g/4oz unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp cinnamon
butter, for greasing
icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
2. Place the squash, flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder and cinnamon into a food processor and blend together until combined.
3. Grease a muffin tin with butter and spoon the mixture in. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
4. Remove the muffins from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
5. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

just made some, and yep I can vouch that they are yummy!

without a food processor tho they were a bid on the 'heavy' side... good job I made mini muffins!

mmm - will save this and try at Halloween time - maybe even get DS1 to eat a bit of pumpkin he makes me buy!
