To make your own butternut squash puree, cut the squash in half and simply roast it in the oven at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until a fork can be easily pierced into the skin. Let cool slightly and then blend up the flesh in a food processor until fully creamy and smooth. I left some small chunks in mine but this is optional.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Out Your Squash Purée 💧Strain your butternut squash purée through cheesecloth for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, preventing a dense, soggy crumb and ensuring better rise.
- Bloom Your Spices 🌟Toast the cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing to intensify their warm flavors and create a more complex, sophisticated taste profile.
- Use Overripe Banana for Sweetness 🍌Choose a banana with brown spots to maximize natural sweetness and ensure it blends smoothly into the batter, allowing you to potentially reduce added sugars slightly.
- Combine Flours for Perfect Texture 🌾Use a 1:1 ratio of whole wheat pastry flour to all-purpose flour to maintain moisture and density while avoiding the heavy, dense texture that whole wheat alone can create.
- Don't Overmix—Fold Gently 👐Mix wet and dry ingredients until just combined, then gently fold in the batter by hand to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which keeps the bread tender and prevents tunneling.
