Recipe of the Season: Cinnamon Baked Squash

Winter squash contains greater amounts of natural sugars which help reduce sugar cravings. Perfect for the holiday season! Instead of munching on cookies and cakes try this recipe.

1 Medium Squash (acorn, butternut, kabocha, delicata, sweet dumpling squash)

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1-2 Tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup

1. Wash and cut squash in half.
2. Take seeds out.
3. Put squash in a baking dish, add your choice of sweetener, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
4. Bake them for 45 minutes at 450 degrees.

Often, squashes are sweet enough by themselves, so you can omit sweeteners, or use apple chunks, raisins, figs or dates.

Save the seeds to soak and bake. Easy, simple, and very satisfying!
