Did you know that Jamie Oliver has teamed up with Moshi Monsters favourite character Furi to inspire young budding chefs around the world to get into the kitchen and learn how to cook? The duo have been cooking up a storm in Jamie’s kitchen to create a delicious Butternut Squash Muffin.
Furi is just one of the latest guest stars on Jamie’s Food Tube channel, with the chef regularly welcoming fellow YouTubers and chefs to join him in the kitchen. With expert tutorials, easy to follow recipes and good food, Jamie and Furi are aiming to excite a new generation of chefs to get creative.
This is my first time using vegetable in a muffin and I was quite worried that it would taste bland but to my surprise, we all love it! This recipe is so easy to make and very delicious too! It tastes like a proper delicious cake and I love that it has the hidden vegetable inside too.
This bake requires a food processor to mash up the butternut squash. I don’t have a food processor so I ended up using my Breville Blend Active to mash up the butternut squash, olive oil, egg and walnut mixture in it. It works like a charm!
We have received this lovely hamper to help us to bake these yummy Butternut Squash Muffins. This will bake at least 12 muffins.
Ingredients:
- 200g butternut squash (skin on)
- 175g soft brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150g plain flour
- 1 heaped tablespoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 35g walnuts
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 75g sour cream
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- Zest of 1 lemon
- (optional a few seasonal berries)
This exciting new video Jamie has been transformed into Jammie Olive Oil, a ‘fang-tastic’ Moshling character, with the chef’s signature quiff and plaid shirt. Jamie will demonstrate how to bake this delicious and healthy muffin!
We also received these cute Moshi Monsters Candy Floss Spinner along with other characters! Ms C was so pleased with it and keeps spinning the Moshi Monsters inside the candy floss maker! So anyone want Candy Floss? We do!
Do check out Jamie Olive’s Food Tube channel for more inspiration recipes!

What a great hamper and beautiful muffins — My girls would love that candy floss maker. Not sure their dentist would though! Thank you for joining in with #bakeoftheweek once again – new roundup and linky now open x
These look so tasty. Would never have thought you could use butternut squash in a cake
Thanks so much for linking up to #FamilyBakes, I have pinned and tweeted and will include in a roundup at the end of the week. x
I love the idea of using butternut squash – carrot cake is always popular in our house! Popping over from recipe of the week / bake of the week / tasty tuesdays. I’ve actually just launched a new linky called #FamilyBakes on my site Modern Family Baking if you were interested in joining in?
would love to sneak some vegetables into baking, to make cakes a bit healthier, would never have though of trying butternut squash, your muffins look yummy!
These look great. I’ve only ever used beetroot in a cake (works really well in a chocolate cake, helps to keep it moist). I’ve seen lots of recipes using butternut but haven’t attempted it myself. Might have to have a go at making these though – thanks for sharing!
