I made this easy 5-ingredient recipe for butternut squash gnocchi for myself today after finding inspiration from here. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I happen to love butternut squash and I could eat this everyday. These are baked, you can not boil them or they will fall apart. The texture is soft and pillow-y, perfect for small kids or transitional foods. The key to rolling the gnocchi is wet hands. This dough is on the wet side, if you run your hands under cold water, the dough will not stick to your hands!

- Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees on a parchment lined baking sheet.

How long can you store these in refrigerator? Do you think you can freeze? Would you do it prior to baking or after?
How do I know how much coconut flour to add?
Thank you for pointing this out! I didn’t realize the coconut flour was missing from the ingredient list. It should be 3 grams is you follow the recipe. I will update the post!
Making this for Aidan tomorrow with pumpkin instead of squash. Looks wonderful. He is excited.
Hope it turns out and he likes it! You can incorporate the butter into the recipe instead of on top if you want.
