Yellow Squash Muffins

If you like zucchini bread, you will like these muffins, which use yellow summer squash. The recipe inspiration came from The New Southern Garden Cookbook. Next time, I will use 1/2 cup applesauce in place of an equal amount of water. The recipe makes 1 dozen muffins.

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Pinch of allspice

2 eggs

3/4 cup water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup grated yellow squash (1 medium)

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1. Combine granulated sugar and next 9 ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. Scoop batter into lightly greased muffin pans.

2. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until done.
