Butternut Squash and Cranberry Muffins
2
InvisiGyrl
"I got some butternut squash and cranberries (both I am not fond of) in my 'Bountiful Basket' last week. Not having a clue what to do with them, I came up with this surprisingly yummy muffin. I made up this recipe with what I had on hand. It is really very light, tasty, and not too sweet. I serve mine with honey or sweetened cream cheese. If possible, always choose organic."

I really liked this recipe! It's nice to be able to use up a substantial amount of squash in one recipe, and the coconut oil, squash, spices, and cranberry go very well together. I didn't have...

Not bad, had a decent crown but then again with this much sugar I feel like they are more a desert cake then a breakfast type muffin. If you put a lot of sugar in anything it usually tastes good...

Our CSA farm share gives us a lot of squash this time of year, so I am always looking for new ways to use it. I used a kabocha squash (which cooks up and mashes very like Butternut), a little e...
