This recipe was made with the paleo ‘diet’ in mind. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and has no added sugar. I needed an alternative to other paleo breakfasts since I also cannot have eggs. This is the result.
Those with fewer restrictions might enjoy stirring in a bit of maple syrup, adding brown sugar, or topping with granola for extra crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, halved and seeded
- water as needed
- ¼ cup coconut milk, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place butternut squash halves, cut-side up, in a baking dish; fill dish with 1/4 inch of water.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool squash.
Step 4
Scoop squash flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir coconut milk and cinnamon into squash; top with walnuts.
Cook’s Notes:
If desired, smear open side of butternut squash with butter or ghee before baking. Butternut squash can also be cooked in the microwave.
