Butternut Squash Blondies

Butternut Squash Blondies
 
1 cup butternut squash, cubed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup tightly packed brown sugar plus 1 tbsp for roasting
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
optional (1/2 c white chocolate chips)

Roast squash at 225°C for 10 minutes (or until easily pierced with fork) tossed in cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 T of brown sugar. After squash is out of oven turn it down to 175°C.
Melt down the butter and let it cool slightly before adding the brown sugar. Make sure to whisk until fully combined. Add baking powder, vanilla and salt followed by egg and flour. Mash up the butternut squash to your desired texture and fold it into the mixture. Bake in a greased pan for 20 minutes until fork comes out clean.
