  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash cut-side down in a shallow baking pan. Add about 1 inch water.

  • Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease two 12-cup muffin tins.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl.

  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup halfway.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from muffin tins and cool on wire racks.
