I made this recipe for my granddaughter who has severe allergies.
I made the following modifications:
cut the recipe in half and baked it in a 9-in loaf pan, substituted flaxseed meal/water for the egg, added 1 tbsp oil and cut back on the sugar.
My granddaughter loved it (though I didn’t taste it due to my own allergies). Thank you for the recipe. I’ll be making these again!

So glad to hear it was a hit. We have allergies in our house, too, so I know how nice it is to find success!

Would you please share how much sugar you used?
Trudy Hammond
Made these brownies and they are delicious and am sharing the recipe with a friend who thought it sounded good also. Squash makes them awesome. Thanks for sharing ?

Can you taste the cinnamon in the brownies?
Jessica Fisher
Yes, but not in an overpowering way.

Does the butternut squash have to be roasted first? Could it be used if peeled and grated raw?
Jessica Fisher
It needs to be cooked and pureed first. You can also substitute canned pumpkin puree.
Jeanette
I love squash and it wouldn’t bother me to taste it in these brownies, but I have to say, you CAN’T! My daughter who is very picky thought they were delicious! Great recipe!
Mine turned out VERY dry as well, thought maybe I cooked too long, but looked back on the recipe and noticed no oil…..So I will try adding the oil.
Jessica Fisher
Interesting. That has not been our experience. They are on the edge of too moist. Can I ask what kind of flour you used and if you measured it by scooping or weighing?

I scooped. I used AP flour.
Jessica Fisher
That may be the problem. This post explains it: https://goodcheapeats.com/how-to-measure-flour-properly/
