Breakfast Stuffed Squash

Stuffed squash with yogurt, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola, and sunflower seed butter. Perfect for meal prepped cold weather breakfasts! 

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

Did you remember to fall back, friends?

I like to play this game where I live in the pre-time changed world for as long as I possibly can.

It works best if you’re too lazy to change the analog clocks in the house; their striking hands acting as a portal to that parallel universe where 8 AM is still 8 AM.

Looking at the time, I’m transported to that other world where time marches on unchanged by Federal Law.

At this time, pre-Daylight Savings Time Lauren is bowing deeply in child’s pose on her yoga mat.

There she is serenely sipping on a steaming green Cinnamon Almond Matcha Latte.

Oh, and now she’s standing by the glowing oven, impatiently waiting on squash halves to bake.

Get it girl.

This Breakfast Stuffed Squash is the perfect meal prep breakfast for colder months– ready in just 30 minutes for you and your doppelgänger.

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

OK, so, you’ve probably stuffed a squash before, or at least had stuffed squash before.

But have you tried stuffing it for breakfast?

I’ll be honest- I never thought of having squash for breakfast before Instagram.

Pictures of the coziest squash bowls pop up on my Instagram feed, making me want to

I figured the fastest way to get from point A (squash-less in Virginia) to point B (squashin’ it for breakfast) was to skip the bowl altogether and stuff a squash with my breakfast favorites.

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

As for the squash- I used yellow acorn squash in this post but I’m happy to say that carnival and butternut squash are also delicious here, too!

While these squashes are great for savory dinners, their natural sweetness lends them to the sweeter side of the menu, too.

You’re going to love them here with a creamy yogurt center and fresh fall toppings!

The prep is simple and straight forward.

Cut the squash (I used horizontal cuts here for aesthetics), remove the seeds and pulp, sprinkle with cinnamon, and roast.

I used parchment paper to prevent my squash halves from sticking to the pan; keeping this recipe entirely oil free!

Thirty minutes later a steaming edible bowl of golden squash flesh emerges from the oven, requiring only a spoon and a good stuffing to be a complete treat!

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

Lately I’ve been really into dream/mood boards for inspiration, intention, and good vibes.

Treat these Breakfast Stuffed Squashes like your own personal fall dream board, and don’t be afraid to fill them with all of your favorites!

After you stuff each squash with an adequate amount of your favorite yogurt, it’s time to dress them up for fall.

I’m talking all of the accoutrements.

The trees are all turning beautiful burnt shades of yellow, orange, and red here in Virginia and I’m currently craving these colors in my foods, too!

For toppings, I went with hemp heart, pepitas, dried cranberries, granola, and a big spoonful of SunButter for the final flourish.

The slightly salty taste of this sunflower seed based spread with zero added sugars is perfect with the sweet squash, granola, and cranberry while hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds add texture and crunch.

Some other topping ideas are chia seeds, cacao nibs, nuts, and fresh berries.

Breakfast Stuffed Squash

These Breakfast Stuffed Squashes are perfect for meal prep, guys!

Try baking 2-4 halves in advance for the week.

You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or reheat quickly in the oven or microwave.

Or, save the baking for the day of (maybe for a weekend breakfast or brunch?) and watch your steaming halves melt the SunButter a little more with each bite.

Yum.

Pro tip: Try saving the squash seeds and roasting separately as an additional topping!

If you make this Breakfast Stuffed Squash, let me know!

Be sure to leave me a comment, rating, and review so I can use your feedback to create more yums.

Description

Stuffed squash with yogurt, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola, and sunflower seed butter. Perfect for meal prepped cold weather breakfasts!


Ingredients

  • 1 small winter squash (carnival, acorn, or butternut)
  • sprinkle of cinnamon
  • 1 cup almond milk greek yogurt (enough to fill your squash halve!)
  • 1/4 cup your favorite granola (grain-free or gluten free as needed)
  • 2 TBSP No Sugar Added SunButter
  • 2 TBSP pepitas
  • 2 TBSP dried cranberries
  • sprinkle of hemp hearts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scrub squash under running water, then pat dry. Cut open squash down the middle and scoop out the seeds and pulp.
  3. Sprinkle the interior of the halves with cinnamon and place facedown on the parchment paper.
  4. Bake squash for 30-45 minutes, or until fork tender and slightly browned on the bottom side. The time in the oven will depend on size of squash.
  5. Assemble the breakfast stuffed squash by dividing yogurt between squash halves. Next, top with pepitas, dried cranberries, granola, a big spoonful of SunButter, and a dusting of hemp hearts.
  6. Store leftover halves and toppings separately and assemble throughout the week for easy breakfasts.

Notes

*Double or triple the recipe for multiple squashes to have extras all week! Squash halves keep for 3-5 days.

Instagram post 18094595629113060 Did I ever tell you about my first blog that failed? 💁🏼‍♀️
-
It was called The Vegan Muffin Woman where, as the name suggests, I shared vegan muffin recipes. Talk about niching down. 🤣
-
It was fun at first, you know? I had a posting schedule and a list of recipes and my iPhone camera ready for the shoot. I did banana bread and chocolate and lemon poppyseed muffins. Then I decided to branch into cupcakes because, hey, they’re muffin-shaped, right? 🤷‍♀️
-
Starting out was fun. But you know what’s hard? The middle of things.🤨
-
As time went on, I missed a few posts, I got frustrated with my photography, and I felt like my writing was too vulnerable. But most of all I was tired of being restricted to muffin tins. Instead of adapting and changing with the content, I hung up my oven mitts and took down the site. The vegan muffin woman was officially retired. ✌🏻
-
I’m so glad that I had the experience with my first failed blog, because it taught me what NOT to do when I launched my new site. With Flora & Vino, I wanted to to feel free, leaving the name and content generic and loose so both myself and the brand had room to adapt and grow. I also learned a thing or two about blogging and content creation that acted as a launching pad for my new home on the web.💁🏼‍♀️
-
But the hardest part sometimes is that sticky middle part where you just have to keep showing up. Every day. 😱
-
Running Flora & Vino I’ve had to really embrace being present as a work in progress; all half-baked and gooey. I’ve had to take imperfection action that leads to imperfect content. I’ve had to present my journey rather than the travel guide. And it’s hard. I still hear that snippy voice telling me to just hang up the oven mitts already. Now I choose to ignore it and keep going and growing. 🌱
-
I’m sharing this today because I’m feeling a lot of resistance to forward motion this December. Like...can we just skip to 2020 already? 🤪If you’re currently in the middle of a project or passion, see it through. KEEP GOING. And if you’re recovering from a recent failure— choose to see it as a stepping stone towards your version of success. ☀️
-
LET’S KEEP GOING. 🙏

Instagram post 17907039766381637 I need a mid-week refresher, hbu? 😍These MINT DARK CHOCOLATE COCONUT LAYER BARS are just that, made with three simple no bake layers. 💁🏼‍♀️ We start with a date-nut base, build into a coconut butter center, and finish with a @hukitchen mint dark chocolate top. //#sponsored So basically the recipe is a peppermint patty in bar form. All vegan, gluten-free, grain-free, and refined sugar-free! -
