This is an unusual and tasty gluten-free/grain-free dish using butternut squash. It can easily be altered by using another squash, such as acorn or even pumpkin.
The reason this particular dish turns out the way it does is the butternut squash really doesn’t have an overbearing flavor and the spices and texture go together perfectly.
Serve this with a nice chicken dish and the whole family will love it!
Bon appétit!
INGREDIENTS:
1 large butternut squash (to yield 3 ½ to 4 c cooked pulp)
4 eggs, separated
3-4 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp butter or coconut oil, melted (1 tbsp is for the soufflé dish)
3 tsp lakanto
1 tsp cream of tartar or 2 tsp lemon juice
