Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled and cubed) butternut squash
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces, then steam or boil until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the butternut squash until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, milk, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Pour the mashed squash mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, make the pecan crumble topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the squash mixture.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
