This recipe is adapted from a recipe published in the NZ Herald by Elizabeth Pederson. It’s a great muffin recipe for using seasonal fruit, and in this case feijoas.

Muffins:
Wholemeal flour       3/4 cup
Plain flour       1/2 cup
Low GI Chelsea sugar               1/2 cup
Baking powder             2 1/2 tsp
Oil/Margarine             4 dessert spoons
Eggs             2
Lemon Juice (fresh)       1/2 cup
Feijoa flesh       1 cup
Lemon Glaze:
Lemon rind (finely grated)       2 tsp
Castor sugar (or Splenda)       2 T
Orange Juice       1 T

Preheat over to 200℃

Grease or spray 16 small muffin pans,
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder,
Beat in eggs, rind and juice,
Roughly chop feijoa flesh,
Stir in liquids and feijoas lightly into dry ingredients,
Spoon into muffin pans.

Bake 200℃ for 20-25 mins.

Cool for 2 mins then turn onto wire racks.

While muffins are in the oven, mix rind and sugar on a saucer for the glaze. Just before using the glaze stir in the orange juice. While muffins are warm, dip top of each muffin in the lemon glaze, then let cool.
