Butternut Cornbread

Butternut Cornbread

I love cornbread plus I love butternut squash equals Butternut Cornbread.

It may also be the result of the unholy amount of massive squash that took over the kitchen after I harvested what I could find from my desperately neglected garden.

They stealthed through the exuberance of borage and mint, and infiltrated the chard.

They were everywhere.

(They still are.)

Fortunately, butternut squash is (in my opinion) the most marvelous of the curcubita: very few seeds and lots of dense, orange flesh that is perfect for baking.

Butternut Cornbread stays moist long after most others get all dry and crumbly. (Really any squash will do the trick. Canned pumpkin, too, if that’s what you’ve got on hand.)

If you don’t want to fuss with roasting a squash, just stick one whole into your slow cooker for a few hours. When you can pierce it with a knife, you’re ready to go.

Puree or mash it, and freeze what you don’t need right away in recipe-sized portions.

Butternut squash is my favorite, but you can substitute any pureed squash - or canned pumpkin - in this recipe. You can substitute honey for the maple syrup, too.
Servings: 9 x13 inch / 22x33 cm pan
Author: Ketchup With That
Ingredients
  • 1 cup / 250 ml whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup / 250 ml cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon / 5 ml baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon / 5 ml baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon / 2.5 ml salt
  • 1-1/4 cup / 310 ml buttermilk see note
  • 1/4 cup / 60 ml maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup / 80 ml vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup / 250 ml cooked pureed butternut squash
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch / 23x33 cm baking dish.
  2. Stir together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  3. In separate bowl, beat buttermilk, maple syrup, vegetable oil, eggs and squash until smooth.
  4. Add squash mixture to flour and stir until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix- the batter will not be smooth.
