Method
Feijoa and coconut loaf
-
1Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper, allowed the paper to hang over the sides. This makes it easier to remove the cooked loaf.
-
2Blitz the whole feijoa in a blender or food processor until puréed.
-
3Mix together the feijoa purée, chopped feijoa and banana with lemon juice, then set aside.
-
4Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
-
5In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until creamy, then add the melted butter, yoghurt and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
-
6Fold in the dry ingredients, then add the coconut and the feijoa and banana mixture.
-
7Bake for one hour or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then gently remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
-
8Serve cut in thick slices, warm, cold or even toasted.
Notes
Feijoa skin contains lots of vitamin C and also lends a full flavour to baking and smoothies.
