Butternut Squash Bread Recipe

	Alchemywunderkid / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago Though I knew I could chomp my way through the leftover butternut squash mash in the time it takes most people to tie their shoes, I loved the taste too much to see it just disappear in a matter of minutes, leaving me squash-less for the rest of the ...

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup spicy butternut squash mash (mine is spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne pepper [a must for this recipe], seasoned, and finished with a healthy smack of butter [about 2 T.]... however you do it though, make sure it has an ample amount of the flavors you want in your finished bread)

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 stick room temperature butter

3 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

4 cups AP flour

2 T. baking powder

additional salt &/or spices (optional, but heavily dependent on how heavily spiced your mash is [mine's heavily spiced so i skip this... if your batter's bland, spice it up!])

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º

Prep 2 medium loaf pans (my new ones are 8.5" x 4.5", teflon, but the first time, I covered a big casserole with buttered wax paper)

Mix together squash mash, brown sugar, butter, and eggs

Sift together flour and baking soda

Add 3/4 of the flour mixture to the squash mixture and mix, adding more flour as necessary until the batter is firm

Pour batter into pans, spreading evenly

Place in oven until well browned and a skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean

Remove from over, let cool for 10 mins, then turn out of pans to continue cooling on rack

I'm assuming i should cook the squash to make the mash? About how long does it take to bake?

Looks delicious!!!

Yep, definitely bake the squash. I halve mine length-wise, season however you like (I like salt, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon), rub lightly but evenly with oil, then bake for about 1 hour in a 450ºF oven or until nice and soft. Then cool, scoop and mash.
