\n
Muffins:<\/h6>\n

1 1\/2 cups of cooked butternut squash (I like to halve mine, scoop out seeds, and slow roast for about an hour at 325 degrees Fahrenheit)
\n4 eggs
\n1\/4 cup of dark brown sugar (up to 3\/4 cup for a sweeter muffin)
\n1\/3 cup applesauce
\n6 T vegetable oil
\n1 t salt
\n1 t baking soda
\n2 t baking powder
\n2 t cinnamon
\n2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
\n1 medium apple, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped<\/p>\n

Streusel:<\/h6>\n

1\/4 cup dark brown sugar (can use more here too if you like)
\n1 t cinnamon
\n1\/3 cup chopped and toasted pumpkin seeds<\/p>\n

Directions<\/h6>\n

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 In a large bowl, mix wet ingredients by whisking together cooked squash, eggs, dark brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil.<\/p>\n

3. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients by combining salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and whole wheat pastry flour.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.\u00a0 Stir in chopped apples.\u00a0 Spoon into greased muffin tins about 2\/3 of the way full. (You can use cupcake papers if you like.)<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Combine streusel ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin seeds) and sprinkle a nice spoonful over top of each muffin before baking.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Bake muffins for about 15 minutes until just done and a tester comes out basically clean.\u00a0 Let cool a few minutes in tins and then remove muffins to a cooling rack.\u00a0 (I had to use a knife to loosen them before removing.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
