Butternut Squash Puree
- 1 butternut squash
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar or 1 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon low-fat milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Cut stem off of squash. Cut squash lengthwise and remove seeds and pulp. Put squash halves face down in a baking dish. Add 1/4 inch of water.
- Bake the squash for 20 minutes with cut side down down, then 20 minutes with cut side up (when you flip them over you can add a little honey and/or cinnamon if you so desire). Bake until a knife can easily enter the flesh but remove from oven before the squash becomes entirely mushy.
- Allow squash to cool enough to handle. Remove peel with paring knife, and cut peeled squash into pieces of approximately 1-2 inches.
- Put pieces in food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients. Puree until smooth.
