These vanilla & feijoa muffins are simply delicious.
It’s Feijoa season here in NZ, and although my 2 trees are only producing a handful of lovely tangy fruit, my Mums lovely friend gave me a HUGE bag full !! THANK YOU!!!
I do love feijoas and the sweet tangy flesh scooped straight out of the freshly picked fruit!! Yummy!!! But there are only so many feijoas that myself and my lovely family can eat fresh, so its all about diversity and the options with these fruits are endless…..
Today I decided it was all about muffins and treating the kids to a yummy sugarfree after school snack (as well as the compulsory Sneaky Banana Smoothie )
This delicious recipe is so versatile you can make it into cupcakes, one large cake or even a loaf, all depending on which you prefer, just pop the mixture into your chosen pan and bake.
Transform these light fluffy muffins into a real yummy cake or cupcakes just by adding your favourite icing/frosting they are super delicious with vanilla & cinnamon icing or cream cheese icing, in fact any icing, or no icing, these are real yummy!!!!
