Cornbread has been a family favorite for a long time but this is a new twist on our staple side dish. Last fall I had cooked up a butternut squash for another recipe. Our family isn’t a huge fan of the squash so I had a lot leftover. I had seen a recipe for pumpkin cornbread so I thought I’d try it with my leftovers. This butternut squash cornbread recipe is the result and you won’t believe how easy it is!!!

Butternut Squash Cornbread Recipe
- 1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c milk
- 1/2 c butternut squash puree
Mashing up the squash is the fun part!
Then you basically just dump everything in a mixing bowl and mix it up!
Grease the muffin tins well, fill each about 3/4 full, and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. These are perfect to serve with soup on a cold night! BTW, my family didn’t even realize there was squash in these. But I do think it made the muffins moister and more flavorful.
Try it with these soup recipes:
- Chicken Enchilada Soup
- Turkey Taco Soup Recipe
- Easy Texas Gumbo Recipe
- “Diet” Soup Recipe
- Bacon Cheddar Potato Soup
Next time I’m trying pumpkin! Leave a comment and let me know what you’ve added to your cornbread recipes.
‘Til the next project,

March 19, 2019 at 2:04 amI just made these with fresh sugar pumpkin puree and they’re SO good! I lined the muffin pan and just sugared the tops because my Husband requested them that way (similar to something his mother made). We both loved them! Thanks for the recipe and I love the new site design. 🙂
