Butternut Squash Bread! |
Cooked/ mashed Butternut Squash always found a place in our large freezer. It's a given every year that a bag or 2 of this veggie will be used for Butternut Squash Bread! What a moisty light dessert bread! It's become a family fave. Egg Whites & Olive Oil for baking & sauteing help create the light texture. Butternut Squash Bread freezes very well after baking/ cooling, too. This past weekend our younger son was "back home". On his return trip packed in his suitcase was a Butternut Squash Bread that fit so well in a Ziploc Freezer container.
This weekend I'll be using this recipe again while preparing for Thanksgiving Day! Have you baked one yet?

Your bread looks great, Judy! I've never made bread with squash, it sounds delicious. My dad had many gardens, even started the community gardens in Louisville, but I don't remember squash of any kind on our table. Guess mom didn't like it, but I make varieties of it often, and am happy to have this recipe! Take care
ReplyDeletePam- Thanks! Growing up we totally enjoyed squash. It was one of our veggies. :)
