Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add flour, sage, thyme, baking powder, baking soda, salt, rosemary, black pepper and nutmeg. Whisk to combine, and set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, add squash, eggs, grated apple, olive oil and brown sugar to the bowl. Whisk to combine.
  4. Add squash mixture into dry mixture. Whisk it all together, then fold in blue cheese and pecans. (Note: the batter will be very thick).
