Muffins

Butternut Squash Muffins

The following recipe can be adapted for any fruit or vegetable. Purees, whole fruits (berries), mashed (bananas), or grated (zucchini) fruits or vegetables would work. The fruit or vegetable and the flavor can vary from muffin to muffin. The flavor could be an extract (i.e. vanilla) or any spice. For Butternut Squash Muffins I used allspice.
