I have collected a selection of squash recipes that we have found to be delicious and have made many times. Winter squash and sweet pumpkin are interchangeable in any recipe, since they are the same thing. No canned pumpkin will ever taste as good as the home grown vegetable. *Note: All spices are dried and ground. If you wish to use fresh, you will need to research the amount.
Difficulty: Easy
Cook Time: 20-25 minIngredients
1 cup squash, cooked and mashed
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon mace
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin tin or use papers. Mix together squash, eggs, oil and corn syrup in large bowl. Stir until well mixed. Stir all other dry ingredients together in smaller bowl. Add dry ingredients to squash mixture. Fill greased tins to the top. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until lightly brown on top.
* Very good with raisins added, add raisins to batter if desired.

This has become my go to recipe for easy snacks for my daughter. It is very open to additions, which have been at various times dried apples and pears, grated carrot, raisins, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, bran, dried cranberries, and soy nuts.
Thanks for the great recipe!

I’m so glad you like it! I often put other things in it too. It’s a great way to get people to eat squash, who wouldn’t otherwise touch it with a 10 foot pole! lol!
