Butternut Squash & Apple Bread image

This recipe was in the Pittsburgh PostGazette on November 8, 2009. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds like a great Autumn recipe. Can be made as muffins or loaf and spread with cream cheese or preserves.

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
16 ounces butternut squash, thawed (1 package frozen)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup applesauce
1/3 cup apple juice (may use skim milk)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, nuts and cranberries in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the thawed squash, eggs, applesauce and apple juice (or milk) in another large bowl.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold in until just combined.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for 1-1/4 hours until baked through (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean). If baked as muffins, cooking time will be approximately 30 minutes.
