How to Make Butternut Squash Muffins Diabetic

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Peel, seed, and cube 1 medium butternut squash (approximately 1.5 lbs).
  3. Boil cubed squash in a medium saucepan, covered with water, for 20 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Drain well and puree the squash using a food processor or immersion blender.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup Splenda granular sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
  6. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  7. Gently stir the pureed butternut squash into the wet ingredients.
  8. Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin cup about halfway to two-thirds full.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
