  • Makes 8 servings
  • Prep time: 15 mins
  • Cooking time: 50 mins

Make the most of the feijoa abundance and whip up this super easy and fruity loaf. Warm and fluffy baking always makes for the ultimate seasonal snack.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra flavour, add 1 tsp mixed spice to your loaf batter at the same time as adding the flour!
  • Peel and slice the remaining 2 feijoas once you have made your loaf mixture to prevent them from browning while you do your mixing! 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C bake.

  2. Peel and dice 4 feijoas, and peel and slice the other 2 feijoas.

  3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, sugar and the peeled and diced feijoas. Add ¼ cup water and stir to combine, then bring to a simmer for 5 minutes to melt everything together.

  4. Take the mixture off the heat and add the baking soda (it will foam). Leave the mixture to cool for around 5 minutes.

  5. Add the beaten eggs to the cooled feijoa mixture and mix to combine.

  6. In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the centre. Pour in the cooled feijoa mixture and gently fold together to combine.

  7. Add the mixture to a greased and lined loaf tin. Gently press in the peeled and sliced feijoas on top of the loaf batter.

  8. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the loaf comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly before turning out of tin. Slice and enjoy.
