Very similar to pumpkin bread, but a different twist!

A loaf of winter squash bread with a slice cut out.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This winter squash bread filled the Test Kitchen with a wonderful spicy aroma. The top of the bread forms a sugary crust, while the inside remains tender and delicious. We used roasted butternut squash when testing, but acorn squash or any other winter squash would be amazing. There is a perfect balance of spices and sweetness in this quick bread. Filled with cinnamon flavor and a hint of nutmeg, brew a cup of coffee and enjoy.

How To Make winter squash bread

Step 1

Grease 2 loaf pans. Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat together sugar and oil. Add eggs and beat well.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 4

Add flour mixture and water alternately to the sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined.
Step 5

Beat in mashed squash. *Any winter squash will work - acorn, butternut squash, buttercup squash, hubbard squash, or calabaza. You can even use a 15 oz can of pumpkin, if desired.
Step 6

Spoon batter into prepared pans.
Step 7

Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Step 8

Cool pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.
Step 9

Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
