2 cups.(350 gr.) peeled and seedless squash (preferably the kind whose pulp is almost orange).

3/4 cup (85 gr). of sugar.

1/3 cup (75 gr). of butter.

1  cup (85 gr) of grated white cheese.

3/4 cup (85 gr). of self-rising wheat flour.

1/4 oats 

2 eggs

1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp cramberries or any dry fruts

1 tablespoon of powdered milk.

1 tablespoon of vanilla essence.


Preparation


Previously cut the squash into 1 cm slices. approximately thick, steam it and let it cool to make a puree with it. This way we preserve its flavor and nutrients. Then we let it cool and with a fork we crush it until it becomes a puree.


We mix this puree with the grated cheese and vanilla.


 heat the oven to 190º C.


 beat the butter with the sugar until it is creamy and we add the eggs. We beat until the egg smell softens.

Then we add the squash mixture and the tablespoon of milk, stirring well to integrate the ingredients.


Finally, we add the wheat flour little by little, mixing with soft and enveloping movements.


In a small tray, buttered and floured, we pour our preparation.


Apart we unite the tablespoon of sugar, with the cinnamon and the 20 gr. of cheese and with it we sprinkle the surface of the preparation.


Put in the oven and bake until it comes out clean when punctured with a stick or knife.
