Butternut Squash and Walnut Muffins
These Butternut Squash and Walnut Muffins are the perfect autumn treat—moist, lightly spiced, and packed with crunchy walnuts and pumpkin seeds. They’re a feel-good snack that’s easy to whip up and even better when served warm with salted butter and a spoonful of jam. Ideal for a quick, nutritious breakfast, tea time, or whenever you need a comforting bite.
You can swap the butternut squash for any firm squash or pumpkin, but avoid spaghetti squash as it has too much moisture. You can even use your Hallowe’en Jack O’Lantern pumpkin here.
