Crazy Mother Hubbard: What To Do With The World’s Largest Squash, Part 2 – Low-Sugar Squash Muffins

    Oh this old thing? Just some Blue Hubbard squash I had lying around. No big deal. 
   Nah, as we learned last time, it’s TOTALLY a big deal. This is the coolest/scariest/punkest/most intimidating squash I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. After using heaps of it in the bean stew, I still had a craptonne leftover, and there’s only so much squash I can eat plain. So we’re making muffins! I thought I hated muffins, but I like the ones I make. I think I just don’t like buying other people’s because…they’re muffins. You shouldn’t have to spend money on such things. So here. Make your own. Even if you don’t have a crazy old mother hubbard, just use pumpkin. Or any squash. But you wouldn’t have as much fun.

    These muffins are low in sugar, at least in my estimation. (At least compared to cupcakes?) And you can’t argue with the fact that they are low in sugar compared to candy. They also have flax seed in them, so they are automatically healthier than the last muffins you made, the ones with white flour and sugar and frosting (*cough* cupcakes *cough*). These are good! That’s all the matters. And they have oats in them, so you can get away with having them for breakfast in America. (I feel like only Americans have very strict rules about what counts as breakfast food. In Italy, they eat, like, deli meat. In Israel I had hummus and salad for breakfast. But in America I would be shamed for that. Why is that? Is it because all other aspects of American life are anarchic? Discuss.)
BLUE HUBBARD SQUASH MUFFINS 
Ingredients: 

  • 1+2/3C whole wheat flour
  • 1/2C rolled oats
  • 1/4C brown sugar
  • 1t baking powder
  • 1/2t baking soda
  • 4T flax seed
  • 1/2t salt
  • 1/2t cinnamon 
  • 1+1/2C cubes of cooked Hubbard squash (or pumpkin) (I cooked all the leftover cubes from last week for about 30 minutes at 350.)
  • 1/3C canola oil
  • 1/3 agave nectar
  • 1t vanilla extract

Directions: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together your dry ingredients.
  3. In a small blender (like a Magic Bullet) or a food processor, mix your squash, oil, agave, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed through.
  5. It should be a rather wet mixture, but if you didn’t have enough squash or something, add a few drops of almond milk. 
  6. Pour into a muffin tin (it made a dozen for me) and bake for 14 minutes. 

Enjoy! I was very pleased with these muffins; I hope you will be as well. We only have a little bit of the monster squash left now – stay tuned as to its fate…
