Ingredients
- 1 cup feijoa skins (soft and ripe ones are best for this recipe)
- 100g butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (optional)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and grease or line a 12 cup muffin tray.
- Wash your feijoa skins and cut off the bud. Place the feijoa skins in a food processor and whizz them until they are mushy. If you don’t have a food processor you can finely chop them.
- Melt the butter in a pot or in the microwave.
- Add the sugar and the eggs to the melted butter and mix gently until all is combined.
- Add the vanilla essence and feijoa skins and mix to combine.
- Sift the flour, salt, mixed spice and baking powder. Add to the wet mixture along with the walnuts. Fold the mixture together until the dry ingredients are all incorporated – be careful not to overmix.
- Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the centre of the muffin springs back when touched.
