For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the sugar. This will add a nutty depth to the bread.
Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts. Dried cranberries would also be a delicious alternative to raisins.
To ensure the butternut squash is fully cooked, roast it until it's very tender. This will result in a smoother puree and a more flavorful bread.
This bread freezes well. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 2 months.

    I added a streusel topping with oats and brown sugar - delicious!

  • Jennie Kirlin

    This recipe is a keeper! The bread came out so moist and the spices were just perfect.

  • Wilfredo Monahan

    I found it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.

  • Jordon Schumm

    My family devoured this bread in one day! Will definitely be making it again.
