I love butternut squash, one of my favourite winter fruits. I like trying out new recipes with it. This is one of them…
Ingredients
– half of a smaller butternut squash, without seeds, roasted, peeled and mashed
– 80 g butter
– 1/4 cup cane sugar
– 1/4 cup oatmeal
– 1 cup white spelt flour
– 1/4 cup whole grain spelt flour
– 1 organic egg
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 vanilla bean, split and seeded
– 1 handful of chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Beat the butter (with hand beater or an electric mixer) until creamy. Add sugar and stir/mix another 2 minutes. Add pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, baking soda, egg and mix until everything combined. Add flours, followed by the oats and choc chips. Mix again until just combined. Drop dough by tablespoons onto the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown around the edges and puffed in the center.
