BUTTERNUT SQUASH KUGEL I

Steps:

• Place the butternut squash into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mash the margarine into the butternut squash in a large bowl. Whisk together the flour, eggs, sugar, and non-dairy creamer in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into the butternut squash. Spread mixture into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

EASY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Boil 4 cups of water, let them slightly cool, then pour them into a 9 X 13-inch baking dish (this will be your water bath). Grease six ¾-cup ramekins with butter.
• Steam the squash: place the cubed raw squash in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup water for large squash pieces or 1/4 cup for small pieces. Cover and microwave until tender. Drain well. How long to microwave the squash will depend on the size of the squash pieces. Small ones, such as those that come in a bag of frozen squash, will likely take about 7 minutes. Large ones can take as long as 15 minutes.
• Place the cooked and drained squash along with the remaining ingredients in your food processor. Process on low for a few seconds, then process on high until well combined and frothy, about 1 minute.
• Pour the mixture into a spouted measuring cup, then into the ramekins. You can fill the ramekins almost to the top.
• Place the ramekins in the water bath. Bake until their center appears set and a toothpick inserted in it comes out clean, 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow the souffle to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

SQUASH KUGEL(ETTES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Slice the butternut squash vertically through the stem end. Using a spoon, remove the seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place both halves of butternut squash cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 45 minutes to an hour until the flesh of the squash is pierced easily with the point of a knife. Allow the squash to cool. Remove the flesh of the squash. Mash with a fork or potato masher and set aside.
• Mix together 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
• Thoroughly grease a Bundt pan OR 9 X 13 inch pan OR individual muffin pans. (I use a baking spray with flour to grease the Bundt pan or muffin pans.)
• Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Using a mixer with a flat beater, or a hand-held mixer, cream the margarine and sugar together on medium speed. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the almond milk and vanilla.
• Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the reserved dry ingredients. Add the mashed squash and continue mixing until combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the kugel(ettes) with the cinnamon and sugar mix. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 45 minutes to an hour. A tester inserted into the kugel will have moist crumbs clinging to it.
• Allow the kugel to cool for 15-20 minutes before gently removing from the baking pan.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
