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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

Peel the feijoas and mash the flesh in a small bowl until smooth. You should yield about 1 cup of feijoa puree.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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.
