Healthy Roasted Cushaw Muffins With Rosemary Sea Salt Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill the bottom of the basket with 3 inches of water. Bring water to a boil. Add squash, cover, and steam until skin is easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove outer skin.
• Place squash flesh into the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Reserve 1 cup for muffins.
• Whisk maple syrup and coconut oil together in a large bowl until well combined. Add eggs and whisk well. Add 1 cup squash puree, Greek yogurt, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Stir in whole wheat flour, pecans, and oats until just combined.
• Combine sea salt and rosemary in a small ramekin. Rub mixture with your fingers to release the oils from rosemary into the salt.
• Divide muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Top with with a dash of the rosemary sea salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the sweet potato, onion, garlic, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until the sweet potato is softened and browned. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• Make the batter: In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter.
• Add the cooled sweet potato mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
• Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and fold to combine, being careful not to overmix.
• Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling almost completely.
• Bake for 18 minutes, rotating the muffin tin halfway through baking, until browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
• Let cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the tin. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Enjoy!
