Fall harvest squash muffins are made with fresh cooked squash and seasoned with brown sugar, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice. Serve these savory muffins for a fall breakfast or brunch menu.
These muffins turn out moist because of the squash and have the wonderful flavors of brown sugar and maple syrup in them. The pumpkin pie spice adds a nice touch of fall flavors.
When you have a few too many squash left over from you garden, this is a delicious way to try a new recipe. You can use Acorn or Butternut squash in this recipe. Feel free to experiment with other types of winter squash too. I prefer the Butternut squash for its consistency, but it comes down to personal preference and sometimes what you grew in your garden!
If you are unsure how to prepare squash, learn how easy it is to cook squash in the microwave. You can also roast it in the oven too. Either method works well. Just make sure to let the cooked squash cool down to room temperature before making the muffins.
