I have modified Jamie Oliver's recipe for Butternut Squash Cupcakes.
My Recipe:

              For the Cupcakes:
              14oz Butternut Squash
  • 1 2/3 C Splenda
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 12 TBLS. Olive Oil
  • Handful Walnuts (optional)
  • Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 F
    Chop raw Squash roughly and blend or process the heck out of them down to tiny bits. Add Splenda, eggs, salt, wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, olive oil and walnuts and process/blend til smooth.
    Fill cupcake paper liners 3/4 full. Bake 20 minutes.
    Let cool 10 minutes before Icing.
    For the Frosting:



    Orange Zest

    Lemon Zest
    1/2 Lemon juice
    2/3 cup low-fat sour cream
    1 tsp Vanilla Extract
    4 TBLS confectioner Sugar




    Directions
    Mix, taste, add zest/sour cream or Splenda to taste.
