Ingredients
  

  • 312 g (2 & ½ cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 200 g (1 cup) sugar
  • 70 g (¾ cup) desiccated coconut
  • 125 g (½ cup) flavourlesss oil (e.g. canola, rice bran)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk combined with 1 tablespoon lemon juice*
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 5-6 feijoas, roughly mashed/chopped

Feijoa Glaze

  • Juice of two fejoas
  • 40 g ¼ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220C (or 425F) and generously grease a 12 cup muffin baking pan with butter or oil.
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt , sugar and cinnamon together. Add coconut and whisk well to combine. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the oil, eggs, milk and lemon juice mixture and vanilla and stir to combine.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined (about 9 folds) and then gently fold the feijoas in until just incorporated.
  • Evenly divide the batter into the 12 muffin cups, making sure that the mixture is topped to the brim (tip: using an ice cream scoop can help ensure even amounts of mixture in each muffin cup).
  • Bake for 5 minutes at 220C (425F), then reduce the heat to 190C (375F) and bake for another 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool muffins for 5 minutes before inverting onto a cooling wrack and drizzle feijoa glaze over top.

To make glaze

  • In a small bowl, add feijoa juice, icing sugar and meltled butter until completely combined. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the muffins.

Notes

* Let the milk and lemon juice mixture sit for at least 5 minutes or so before using so that it curdles and thickens.
Muffins will keep up to 3-4 days in an airtight container -simply reheat in microwave and serve with a knob of butter.
