Ingredients
-
cooking spray
-
1 (2 pound) kabocha squash, seeded and cut into wedges
-
½ cup white sugar
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 eggs
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup whole wheat flour
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup apple cider
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease lightly with cooking spray.
-
Place kabocha squash skin-side down on the baking sheet.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes. Scoop squash flesh into a food processor; puree until smooth. Discard skin.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
-
Stir white sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, and olive oil in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in 3/4 cup pureed squash and vanilla extract.
-
Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Stir gradually into the sugar mixture, alternating with apple cider, until smooth. Pour into muffin tins, filling each cup 3/4 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
Cook's Notes:
Substitute vanilla bean paste for the extract if desired.
You can also bake the batter in a greased 8-inch pan for 28 minutes.
