Dairy-free kabocha squash muffins topped with sweet, salty and cinnamoney chopped pecans!
I love fall for so many reasons. One of the reasons is being able to use different types of squashes in so many different ways. And baking is one my favorite ways to use fall squashes! These dairy-free and whole wheat muffins are made with kabocha squash puree, though these muffins cane be made with any squash puree! It has some delicate spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. They are so soft and moist inside and topped with sweet, salty and cinnamoney chopped pecans!
My family loved it so much, hope yours does too!
