Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • ½ pound butternut squash, cubed

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup whole wheat flour

  • ½ cup wheat bran

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ¼ teaspoon ground star anise

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • ½ cup crushed pecans, or to taste

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread butternut squash over a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool. Leave oven on. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

  3. Combine white sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, star anise, and allspice in a large bowl.

  4. Mix milk, egg, and oil in another bowl. Mash cooled squash with a fork; mix into the milk mixture. Pour over flour mixture and fold until combined.

  5. Scoop 1/3 of the batter into each muffin cup. Combine pecans and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle over the muffins.

  6. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
