    Last week I told you about my need to cook up some butternut squash.  Besides some familiar recipes that I already had, I had been searching the web for some new recipes to try.  One that I came across was this muffin recipe from Bon Appetit.  I decided to make that recipe that very day!  It was love at first bit. 

      When I read through the recipes, I found that I didn't have all of the exact ingredients that I needed to make the muffins.  So, I decided to make a few changes so that I didn't have to run to the store.  Here are a few things that I did:
​
  • First of all, I doubled the recipe because I wanted more than 12 muffins to share. 
  • Next, because I was out of buttermilk, I used some coconut cream instead.  It was very thick, so I used part coconut cream and part whole milk. 
  • Then, because I was  out of fresh ginger, I used dry ground ginger.  The directions on the can said that 1/2 tsp. is equal to 1 tsp. of fresh.  But, I think I could have increased the amount a bit more.  So, put in the ginger to your taste. 
  • Finally,  I used dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar simply because I like it best. 
     To grate the squash, I found that the easiest thing to do was to use my ​food processor using the large grater side of the grating blade. 
​
    So, you can click to Bon Appetit and use their exact recipe, or you can use my variation on the card below.  Just click the card to get a printable pdf.

Oh! And one more thing?  I also didn't add the pecans to the recipe.  I am not a big nut eater, and I think pecans are basically forpecan pie. But, you can put them in if you want to do that, of course. 

    As you can tell, this recipe is not low fat, between the butter, the coconut cream and the whole milk.  The flavor  and unctuousness shines through when you eat a warm muffin right out of the oven.   But, the butternut squash in these are a great way to sneak a vegetable into your diet.

I love that you substitute ingredients that you have on hand. I do the same. We're all different so I would definitely put the pecans in (because I'm a nut lover!) & I have some coconut cream to use up so I'll do that too. I think I'll use doterra ginger essential oil in place of the ginger. Also I interchange dark & light brown sugar all the time, just depends of what I have on hand. Thanks for sharing!
