Butternut Squash Muffins

These muffins were inspired by a soup I had in my pantry that I did not want to waste. To make these muffins more nutrient-dense, I used whole wheat flour in place of white flour. Enjoy these muffins for breakfast or with a bowl of your favorite soup. For a little extra protein, muffins can be topped with peanut butter or almond butter.
