  • In another bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, oil (or melted butter), milk (or yogurt), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in chopped feijoa flesh evenly.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep muffins light and soft.Feijoas provide natural moisture and a unique tangy flavor.Add white chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds warmth.
