Autumn is a wonderful time for gorgeous seasonal fruits, and the unusual Feijoa is among them! Coveted in some parts of the world, and plentiful in others. it’s wonderful to have an abundance this year on our little trees.

Every year I intend to test and create recipes and each year we find that little hands manage to get to the trees before I can get there, but this year has been a bumper crop so we have finally got more Feijoas than we can possibly eat.

I often find that the simplest of recipes are best. This is quite a delicate tasting fruit and if you overpower it with too many flavours you will lose it. One thing that definiely seems to go well with it is brown sugar so most of my recipes will contain that element.

These muffins I share with you today will seem very familiar! It is because I have used the same base recipe as for my Apple Crunch Muffins, the reason being I found the batter to be wonderful, tasty and light, but it also packs in a huge amount of fruit pieces, which is what you want. Feijoa flavours will get lost in many recipes unless you go overboard on the quantities. In fact here you need 3 cups! I used 20 small Feijoas today, and it was perfect.

If someone asks you to describe the taste of a Feijoa it is almost impossible. Some people love them others hate them, we are firmly in the love them camp and preparing them today was delightful as they smell divine!

Yield: 15-20
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Oil (or can use 225g Butter, Melted)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla
  • 3 Cups Flour

Topping

  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 175C
  • Prepare muffin trays with muffin liners or cupcake cases or spray liberally with cooking spray
  • Scoop the Feijoa flesh out of Overripe Feijoas until you have approx 3 cups (lightly mash with a fork leaving some larger chunks.) Set aside.
  • In a food mixer add the sugar and oil (or butter) and cream the mixture until smooth and creamy, approx 3 minutes, add the eggs and vanilla and incorporate well for a further 2 minutes. (or in a bowl with a whisk and a strong arm!)
  • Add to this the Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, Cinnamon and mix until just combined.
  • Add the lightly mashed Feijoa and stir well, this is a very thick mixture.
  • Spoon the mixture into the muffin tins to 3/4 full
  • Sprinkle with brown sugar over the tops of the muffins, approximately 1 teaspoon per muffin
  • Bake for 18-23 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes then transfer the muffins to a tray to cool. These are delicious warm from the oven!

      Hi Anna, These sound superb but I’m concerned about the amount of sugar. Is there anyway
      stewed apple could be substituted? for half the sugar?

      Made these muffins very successfully, they were great. I found using raw sugar sprinkled on top rather than brown sugar gives a much cruncher topping.

      Was really yummy thanks. I halved the recipe which made for a dozen smaller standard size muffins which were plenty for us.

      Best Feijoa muffin recipe! Took it for a morning tea shout & it received rave reviews. Loved that you could get bits of feijoa and the muffin was a perfect crumb texture. Deserves a five star rating.
