Sweet Squash (Mini) Muffins image

These are so light, moist, and yummy! I don't even care for yellow squash! So just try them! They are excellent for Thanksgiving dinner, with an autumn mulligatawny soup, or just as a snack with jam and tea! I prefer them as mini muffins, however the originally recipe cooked the batter as 18 full muffins. Even as a full muffin per serving, these are low in fat & sugar for a muffin too! This list of ingredients comes from Julia Richardson of Monroe, Michigan. I clipped it from a reader's share section of a magazine.

Time 1h25m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups sliced yellow squash (about 2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup margarine, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Bring to a boil the water and the squash. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain well.
  • Mash the squash. Using a strainer, drain well. Discard liquid.
  • Preheat oven to 375-degree F.
  • Mix the squash, milk, margarine, and eggs well. Set aside.
  • Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; and create a well in the center.
  • Place squash mixture in the well, stirring until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
  • Split batter evenly among muffin pans sprayed with vegetable cooking spray.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes in a 375-degree F oven. Remove from pan; let cool on wire rack.
  • These only last about 3-5 days max. before spoiling (less if left out, more if stored in refrigerator). Good for freezing though! Defrost in refrigerator or microwave.
