Ingredients:

  • cooking spray
  • 1 butternut squash , halved lengthwise and seeded
  • water , as needed
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup oats
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 12 pecan halves

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare 12 muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners and prepare the liners with cooking spray.
  2. Put squash into a roasting pan with cut sides down. Pour enough water into pan to fill 1/2-inch deep.
  3. Roast squash in preheated oven until flesh is easily pierced through with a fork, about 45 minutes. Remove roasting pan and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Scoop hot squash into a large bowl and mash until no large chunks remain. Stir sugar and butter into the squash.
  5. Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt together in a bowl.
  6. Beat eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Stirring constantly, add a spoonful of squash mixture into the egg mixture to temper it before adding egg mixture to the squash mixture; stir.
  7. Fold flour mixture into the squash mixture until just incorporated; spoon into muffin tins. Top each with a pecan half.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
