perfect butternut squash muffins
  • 1 small butternut squash
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 20 muffin cups.
  2. Cut a 1/2-inch hole into the larger part of the squash and cover with a damp paper towel.
  3. Cook squash in a microwave oven in 3-minute increments, turning slightly after each increment, until squash can be easily pierced with a fork, 9 to 12 minutes. Set aside until cool to the touch, about 20 minutes.
  4. Halve squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Measure 1 1/2 cups squash into a large bowl. Mash eggs, water, vegetable oil, white sugar, and brown sugar into the squash. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin pie spice into the squash mixture until you have a smooth batter. Fold raisins and walnuts into the batter.
  5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
