These Chocolate Chocolate Chip Butternut Squash Muffins are so flavorful, moist, and just plan yummy! They are the perfect kid-friendly food. Two of my favorite things about these chocolate chocolate chip muffins are that they have butternut squash in them and that they have two kinds of chocolate in them too.

  • 1/2  cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1.5 cups mashed butternut squash
Directions:
  1. Stem and mash the butternut squash. Allow to cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease or line muffin pan.
  3. Mix flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa together in a bowl.
  4. In a stand mixer, beat eggs, sugar, coconut oil, butternut squash, and vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly add flour mixture to wet mixture.
  6. Pour in chocolate chips and beat well.
  7. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, place one scoop in each muffin well.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Butternut Squash Muffins are a moist, light, wholesome, kid-friendly muffin that have a surprise ingredient fresh butternut squash.
Notes:
  • You can substitute butter or any other oil if you prefer.
  • I use frozen cubed butternut squash to whip these muffins up super fast.
  • You can substitute brown sugar, coconut sugar, or honey if you prefer.
To store:
  • Place completely cooled chocolate chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container or zip top bag.
  • Store on the counter for up to 4 days. This is only a guess as to how long the muffins can be stored on the counter. I usually freeze most of mine and only remove what we need for two days at a time.
To freeze:
  1. Place muffins on wire rack directly into the freezer.
  2. Flash freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove muffins and place into zip top freezer safe bags.
  4. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To use:
  • Thaw on the counter for a couple of hours or microwave for a few seconds to defrost.

My girls love these Chocolate Chocolate Chip Butternut Squash Muffins. They eat them for breakfast or snacks, usually about once or twice a week. I love that they are eating butternut squash and enjoying it!

    Last year I made these for son’s lunches for school, I make them as mini muffins, tbey make about 60 mini muffins, they freeze great, perfect to pop in his lunch box to thaw overnight.

    I’m making them again today for school as for the school secretary and teachers while they get ready for the school year that starts next week.
    This is a favourite recipe for us! I’m going to do it again and do a mix of pumpkin and butternut squash
