This Whipped Butternut Squash Puree is melt-in-your mouth delicious. With simple spices, this recipe is a dairy-free, sugar-free twist on the classic favorite and the result is a crowd-pleasing side dish for any fall meal.
Butternut squash is one of my favorite fall vegetables, second only to pumpkin. (Sorry squash, but pumpkin has pumpkin spice everything.) One of my favorite ways to serve butternut squash is to make Whipped Butternut Squash.
Since most butternut squash puree recipes are full of butter (dairy) and added sweeteners like maple syrup, that poses a challenge for those of us who need to avoid those ingredients.
Luckily it’s not hard at all to make a whipped butternut squash puree without those ingredients that’s just as delicious. If you’re on a diet, have food sensitivities, or simply want to eat a little healthier, this is the perfect squash recipe for you.
Did I mention that all four of my kids love it? Even my picky 5-year-old, Luke, gobbles up this butternut squash puree and begs for more. I have to double the recipe for just one meal and there’s still no leftovers!
This easy butternut squash recipe is a must-have for our Thanksgiving meal too.

I love butternut squash. My mom makes the best whipped though I just can’t get mine to come out like hers. I resorted to roasting it in cubes with spices which is delish. This is a fantastic recipe that combines the two together and is my go to recipe now. Thank you.
