Thanksgiving Leftovers - "Squash Streusel Muffins"

 

Here is a sweet treat to make with leftover squash.  I made the squash for Thanksgiving.  It was a heritage variety we think Lakota squash.  My sister shared some saved seeds she had from a squash she liked.  We planted them.  However, I have planted Lakota squash before, this looks like them.  

When I made my squash, I sweetened it with maple syrup and maple sugar, so I'm starting with a sweeter squash.  When you make this recipe, you may want to add additional syrup or sugar.  

Dicky Bird's Leftover Squash Muffins

I mixed this all in a big bowl, by hand.  Super easy.

1 C cooked or leftover squash

1/4 C milk

1/4 C oil 

1/4 C maple syrup

1 egg

2 t cinnamon

2 t pumpkin pie spice

1/2 t ground ginger

2 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

I mixed this all together, then added the 2 C flour.

Topping:

4 T butter

1 T cinnamon

1/4 C brown sugar

1/4 C flour

Mix with a fork till crumbly.

Spray your muffin tin, add your batter and top with the streusel.  Bake 350 for 30 min.  

I hope you give these a try.
