Last week we brought you a recipe for homemade muesli to help you start the day right. This week, Maddy’s back with a morning tea option for the family. Homemade feijoa muffins; take it away Maddy…
Its feijoa season (cue trumpets and confetti) and with the glut of feijoas comes all sorts of recipes. Cakes, crumbles, ice creams or just scooped directly to mouth by the glorious spoonful.
You can substitute the feijoas in this recipe for pretty much any stewed fruit, such as apple, pear or rhubarb. To stew the feijoas simply place the scooped flesh into a small pot and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes then set aside to cool. These muffins are gluten, egg and dairy-free and easy for kids to join in on the baking fun.
