Ingredients
 
 

Streusel

  • 45 g unsalted butter melted
  • 65 g all-purpose flour
  • 65 g white sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Muffins

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 100 g soft brown sugar
  • 50 g white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 120 g natural yoghurt
  • 105 g vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 225 g chopped feijoa flesh
  • 40 g candied ginger finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F and grease or line a muffin pan with 12 paper muffin cups.

Streusel

  • In a small bowl combine melted butter, white sugar and all-purpose flour.
  • Use a fork to combine this flour mixture into a coarse crumb, then set it aside.

Muffins

  • In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the oil, eggs, white and brown sugar, vanilla, and yoghurt. Whisk it all together.
  • Add the flour mixture, chopped feijoas, and candied ginger. Fold together to combine into a batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly over the muffin cases and top with the streusel topping.
  • Bake the muffins at 220°C/425°F for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180°C/350°F and continue baking for another 15-18 minutes until the tops of the muffins spring back when lightly pressed.
  • Remove them from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the warm muffins and placing them on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
  • The feijoa muffins should be stored at room temperature and gently covered with a clean kitchen towel. Storing them in an airtight container softens the streusel
