Squash bread is a hearty and wholesome baked good often made with roasted or pureed squash, such as butternut, acorn, or pumpkin, and a blend of flour, eggs, sugar, and spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Originating from American cuisine, squash bread traditionally incorporates the sweet, earthy flavor of squash and is enjoyed during fall and holiday seasons. Squash contributes essential vitamins like A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making the bread a nutrient-rich option. However, recipes vary in sweetness and fat content depending on ingredients like added sugar, butter, or oil, which may increase calorie counts. Health-conscious adaptations often use whole grain flour or less sugar to boost the nutritional profile. Squash bread pairs well with tea or coffee and makes for a comforting breakfast, snack, or dessert while celebrating the natural goodness of seasonal produce.
