Spiced Butternut Squash Bread

Squash is usually used for dishes and soup. It is very rare for some to incorporate it with their baked goodies. Squash is very healthy and it is always a good idea to incorporate it with our dishes. The other one of our friend, sent us a whole butternut squash, around 3.4 kg. I was thinking what to do about it. Until today I come up with this easy, soft, delicious and nutritious bread recipe. I'm happy to share it with you.

Ingredients

630 grams fresh, chopped squash

3 eggs

180 grams white sugar

250 ml fresh milk

3/4 cup vegetable oil

370 grams flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon powder

1 tsp all spice

1/2 cup chopped walnut

Walnut(whole for garnish)

Instructions

1. Peel and roughly chop squash. Set aside.

2. Sift and combine all the dry ingredients.

3. In a blender, put half of the chopped squash and 3 eggs. Blend until smooth. Add the remaining squash, if the blender stocked, gradually add milk until your squash mixture becomes smooth. Add vegetable oil and mix for 1 minute more.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl using wire whisk. Do it manually and avoid over mixing. Then add chopped walnuts.
