Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium feijoas
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
Peel the feijoas and mash the flesh in a small bowl until smooth. You should yield about 1 cup of feijoa puree.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the feijoa puree, lime zest, lime juice, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
