  • These are just a few of the many ways that we use our squash and pumpkin flours. Very simple recipes, and very tasty! In this video we make squash flour noodles, pasta sauce thickened with squash flour and 2 desserts: chewy ginger molasses cookies and mini chocolate chip cupcakes. Squash and Pumpkin powders are a gluten free wheat flour alternative you can grow and produce yourself.

    RECIPES!!
    Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies
    Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (not melted*)
    1 cup granulated Maple sugar (or white sugar)
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup molasses
    2 eggs
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 cup pumpkin flour
    4 teaspoons baking soda
    1 tablespoon ground ginger
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon ground cloves
    1 teaspoon salt
    Preheat oven to 350f. Mix wet ingredients with an electric mixer. Combine dry ingredients together. Mix dry ingredients into the wet mix. Chill 1 hour. Roll into 1 inch balls, then roll the balls in raw sugar. Bake 8-10 minutes until the cookies begin to slightly crack. Remove from the oven and cool a few minutes before transferring from the cookie tray.
    Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
    Ingredients

    11/2 cups all-purpose flour

    1/2 cup zucchini flour
    ½ cup white sugar

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    1 tablespoon baking powder

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 egg
    
1 1/4 cups milk
    
1/4 cup vegetable oil

    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (+MORE!)
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix flours, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Lightly beat egg in a separate bowl; stir in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix egg mixture into flour mixture until incorporated. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 10 minutes. Cool briefly in the tin before transferring muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
    NOODLES
    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1/4 cup squash flour (zucchini for this batch)
    1 pinch salt
    1 egg
    Water as needed
    Mix dry ingredients and make a well for the egg. Crack egg into the well and combine with your hands. Knead the dough for about 2-5 minutes, adding in more flour or water 1/2 tsp at a time as you go, if needed, until you get a well mixed and elastic dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in fridge for about 1/2 hour. On a well floured surface, roll out noodles using a rolling pin or pasta maker until you get the dough to about 1/8”. Slice into thin strips, then hang to dry until use. When ready to cook the noodles, bring 1 quart of water to a boil, then add punch of salt and the noodles. Cook noodles in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Serve with your favourite sauce. 

    Pasta Sauce
    1 quart whole tomatoes
    2 TBS dried basil
    2 TBS garlic powder
    2 TBS oregano
    1 TBS black pepper
    1 cup chopped celery
    2 TBS pumpkin flour

    brilliant use of squash flour. I always add zuke chips and dried peppers into my watery tomato sauce and that really balances the moisture in the sauce. Sometimes I still add a bit of tomato paste... Those noodles look amazing!

      @@Wilderstead corn starch and xanthum gum are your best friend when it comes to making things gluten free! I have been looking into how to make my own due to the price and my reliance on it. its a long process and can probably be done with refined maple sugar but the yields would be insanely low for the amount of maple used

      @@Wilderstead Essentially you ferment sucrose or glucose and from what I understand Maple sugar is really high in Sucrose! Would be worth the effort to try atleast and if your successful even more so! A steady supply of Xanthum gum will lessen your reliance on wheat flours for baking and other things as well!
