Acorn Squash Bread image

I had a half a roasted acorn squash in the refrigerator that needed to be used and wondered if I could use it to make a quick bread. I used some instructions from a banana bread recipe that I had and tweaked it a little for the squash. The bread turned out really good and now I usually make it instead of banana or zucchini...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c mashed, cooked acorn squash
1/4 c water
2 Tbsp water
3/4 c light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350%. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray ans set it aside.
  • 2. Remove cooked squash from the rind and mash it with a fork. Add water, melted butter, brown sugar, sour cream and eggs to the squash in a large bowl and mix well.
  • 3. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together and then add the dry ingredients to the squash mixture. Stir just until blended.
  • 4. Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake it until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean - approximately one hour depending on your oven.
  • 5. When bread is done, place the pan on a cooling rack for about 5 - 10 minutes and then turn the bread out of the pan to finish cooling.
  • 6. This bread can certainly be served and eaten warm with some butter spread on it! Enjoy.
