Homemade Vegan Buttternut Squash Loaf Cake

Homemade Vegan Butternut Squash Loaf Cake
This recipe was made with ingredients from our first @oddboxldn fruit and veg delivery this week. Check them out as the fruit and veg they deliver is basically everything that supermarkets would not accept due to wrong shape, wrong size or any imperfections you can think of.
We have been enjoying the wonky fruit and veg all week and made the breakfast loaf with the butternut squash delivered in the box. You can easily substitute the squash with pumpkin too for a Halloween treat
This is Butternut Squash Loaf Cake recipe is full of wholesome goodness and is delicious with our Everyday Breakfast Tea!

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas 5 and line a loaf tin with parchment paper. Scoop the seeds out the butternut squash and transfer to a heatproof dish. Place in the warming oven for 10 minutes to dry.

Once the seeds have been in the oven for 10 minutes, drizzle with a little oil and scatter with salt, then, while you prepare the muffins, return to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes until golden.
-
Whisk the chia eggs, olive oil and yoghurt together, then fold in the grated squash, apple and banana.

Combine the dry ingredients using your fingertips so everything is evenly distributed. Fold this into the wet ingredients, then spoon the mixture into a loaf tin. Scatter over the roasted squash seeds.

Homemade Vegan Cinnamon Buns
These simple vegan cinnamon are a yummy treat that can be had anytime of the day. I paired them with our Chinese Lychee Jasmine Tea and the combination was delicious. I used my own homemade oat milk in this recipe but you can use any plant based milk and for the vegan butter I used Naturli organic vegan spreadable which you should be able to get from most Sainsbury's but again any vegan butter should will do.
