Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup heaping cup of butternut squash puree
1/4 cup light olive oil or grape seed oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrup

Cinnamon Vanilla Maple Glaze

3 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar (start with 1/2 cup and add more if needing to thicken more)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line your muffin tin with muffin liners
In a small bowl add in salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg. Whisk until combined.
In order to get the chai mix well distributed throughout the muffin, I highly recommend sifting the flour. In a sifter add in the whole wheat flour, baking soda and chai mix. Sift into a large mixing bowl. Add in old fashioed rolled oats and mix it with a fork. Then set aside.
After, you finish your dry ingredients you will start on your wet. In a large mixing bowl add in butternut squash, oil, eggs, milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Whisk until there is not visible separation of ingredients and it is fully combined.
Using a icecream scooper to distribute the batter is my favorite baking hack! Evently distribute the batter into the muffin lines and place in oven at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
Once cooled top with Cinnamon Vanilla Maple glaze and enjoy!
