You will need:
3 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tsp. maple flavoring (or use vanilla extract if you don't have this)
2 cups shredded rampicante squash
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup extra ingredient (nuts, chopped apricots, raisins or butterscotch chips)
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray (or lightly grease). Mix eggs, oil, and sugars. Stir in squash. Stir in dry ingredients until just mixed. Fold in your extra ingredient (I used butterscotch chips).
Bake for 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. These are fairly healthy, and make a great breakfast-on-the-go muffin (they aren't as crumbly as some muffins). My boys love when I send them as a school snack.
Yield = 15 medium muffins

I envy your garden preserving skills - you are far better at it than I! You've got me inspired to do some canning/preserving again this year.
Thanks for the recipe!
What a cool presentation! Yummy too.
YUM.... I looked at your picture and my mouth watered... Looks delicious... Thanks for the recipe.
Hugs,

Kid approved? That's a winner for sure. :)
Lisa, I think you could turn rocks into something lovely to eat. You're amazing in all areas.

So why Canola oil vs, say, Olive oil?
Olá Lis, bela receita...Espectacular !

They look really yummy! It's also a great way to use up all that zucchini that the neighbors keep getting.
This would be great to try! I have some zucchini in my deep freezer downstairs. Nom Nom!
yaaay...muffins! My kids love them as well, especially my daughter..thanks for sharing the recipe, Lisa
yummy! hope you enjoyed your Easter!
I have to say, this is the first time I've heard of rampicante squash. Those muffins look delicious.
My mom used to make pumpkin muffins. I haven't had muffins in probably 20 years.
Those look scrumptious. I clipped the recipe and printed it, and I'll ask M to make some. We have one of those pans we got from my mom.
Thank you for sharing your recipe!
These sound tasty. I have not had muffins with squash in them, but I have had muffins with zucchini and they were delicious. I will have to try this recipe when I reap the benefits of my garden. Glad you were able to use some of your frozen goods! :)

Oh my those do look good....:)
You are always up to something wonderful -
today i stop by and learn the word "rampicante."
Golly, you are a treasure.
They look good!
I am just now seeing that you posted last week! I don't think I've ever had that kind of squash, but these muffins sound delicious. Anything with brown sugar, maple flavoring, and butterscotch chips must be good. :-)
What a great idea. Muffins are another wonderful way of getting picky eaters (like my son) to eat more vegetables without them knowing... I love maple and cinnamon. I want to try one! :)
Whoh! Yum!
