  • ½ pound butternut squash, cubed
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup wheat bran
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ½ cup crushed pecans, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread butternut squash over a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool. Leave oven on. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Combine white sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, star anise, and allspice in a large bowl.

  • Scoop 1/3 of the batter into each muffin cup. Combine pecans and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle over the muffins.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
