12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup oat bran
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cubed butternut squash
  • water as needed
  • ½ cup apricot jam
  • 1 cup light cream
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.
  • Whisk flour, oat bran, ginger, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
  • Place butternut squash into a pot with just enough water to almost cover the squash; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash squash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Mix squash and apricot jam together in a bowl.
  • Whisk cream, sugar, and eggs into the squash mixture until light and creamy; stir into flour mixture until just combined. Pour batter into each muffin cup, filling each cup to about 3/4-full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool muffins in muffin cups before removing.
