Does anyone have a delicious, healthy (no creamer, margarine, etc) recipe for butternut squash muffins?

TIA

I'm interested too -- mainly because I was all set to make 'em this morning and discovered I was out of margarine embarrassed

I did a search and came up with this one -- think it would come out as muffins? Looks healthy enough...

SQUASH SOUFFLE
1 package (20 oz) frozen butternut squash
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs
scant 2 cups milk or pareve substitute
2 oz margarine (you could prob even leave this out)
Dash of cinnamon (and ginger, if you like the taste)

Mix sugar and marg together. Blend in all other ingredients. Bake at 350 in 2 qt dish for about an hour (longer if necessary).

Recipe can be halfed, doubled, or even tripled, and freezes great!

Preheat oven to 350.

In a bowl, mix:
1 C. canned pumpkin (if you substitute 1 C of pureed squash, I think it'll be just as yummy)
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. oil
1 egg

Add:
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 C. flour

Mix.
Add 1/2 C. broken walnuts and mix. I left these out, and it was fine.

Divide into 12 muffin holders evenly and bake for 25 minutes.

After looking at all the squash kugel recipes posted, I actually ended up making this one today:

Butternut squash kugel
2 large butternut squash( pealed, cubed, cooked, drained and mashed)
Add
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. coffee rich
5 eggs
Sprinkle cinnamon on top
Bake 1 hour on 350

I used soy milk instead of coffee rich, and I liked the idea from another recipe of adding ground nuts and did that too...was enough to make 2 kugels, they look yummy!

I made this recipe last night, except subbed applesauce for most of the oil, and ww flour instead of white. I also put raisins in with the walnuts. They came out very nicely.
Somehow I tripled the recipe (except the sugar) and only came out with 24 muffins. Don't ask me how that happened. Maybe I filled the cups up too much.

I've also used applesauce in it. They come out a bit stickier, but the kids don't mind Smile

I have made it with all white, half and half, and all ww with no issues.

Could be you filled up the muffin tins more; for me, I find that recipes make less many times because I'm too busy "tasting" it Tongue Out

The best butternut squash recipe I have found is:

1 box frozen squash (the birds eye cooked squash)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs
splash of milk - I use rice dream soy milk
cinn for the top
frozen pie shell - optional

defrost squash and mash with a fork. add eggs, sugar, flour and milk. pour into greased pan or frozen pie shell. sprinkle cinn all over the top and bake at 350 until done prab around 45 min.

I know this was an old thread, but my kids asked me to make squash muffins for Yom tov and I couldn't find my recipe, so I googled it and this was the first thing that came up :-)
Hashem yazor, I made your recipe using 4oz baby jars, and they are delicious!!!! Thanks so much :-) I got 10 out of the first batch, but I think I filled them too high.
