WINTER SQUASH AND MOLASSES MUFFINS



Winter Squash and Molasses Muffins image

These moist muffins are reminiscent of pumpkin molasses bread, but they aren't as sweet (though you can add more sugar or molasses if you want them to be sweeter)

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 dozen large muffins, 18 smaller muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds kabocha squash, cut in large chunks
1 cup (140 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup (135 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (2 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup raw brown sugar (turbinado) or packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup blackstrap molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly oil the foil. Brush the squash with a small amount of oil. Place on the baking sheet skin side down. Roast for 20 minutes and use tongs to turn the pieces of squash over. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes more, until the squash is soft enough that you can pierce the skin with the tip of a paring knife. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then peel away the skin. Purée in a food processor or a mortar and pestle. You should have about 1 cup of purée
  • Turn the oven down to 375 degrees with a rack in the middle. Oil or butter muffin tins and line the bottoms with parchment if desired
  • Sift together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, allspice and salt
  • Beat together the eggs and sugar. Beat in the molasses, oil, buttermilk, puréed squash, and vanilla. Quickly beat in the flour and fold in the walnuts
  • Spoon into the muffin tins and place in the oven. Bake 20 to 22 minutes, until the muffins have risen and a tester comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tins for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely

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!
