I can't usually stand the flavour and texture of a feijoa but this loaf is so amazing, it has me going back for seconds!

Just make sure you use exactly a cup and no more fejoias than that as my second attempt I used 1 1/2 cups by accident as I didn't measure and it didn't cook through properly and fell apart. But with the correct amount it came out moist, delicious and lasted over a week and tasted like it had just come out of the oven a week on!, approved=true, user_name=L, hs_createdate=1702249852752, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175460648}, {comment_text=Was such an easy recipe to make and delicious!, approved=true, user_name=Jordan, hs_createdate=1702249852730, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175369589}, {comment_text=I'm surprised this tastes so good because of how easy and simple it is. Its delicious with butter.Used 3/4 cups sugar, and sprinkled with brown sugar before baking (essential for a lil crunch). Didn't have walnuts but would def add this in next time. 10/10, approved=true, user_name=Hayley, hs_createdate=1702249852679, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175562611}, {comment_text=Tried this recipe twice, both times came out too wet in the middle even after the full baking time. One cup sugar is far too sweet. Tried cutting down the amount of water, still too wet. Made me sick both times I ate it as it didn't cook through. I suspect the amount of sugar is aimed more for sales than taste. Found a much better recipe here: https://mykidslickthebowl.com/feijoa-almond-loaf/#recipe, approved=true, user_name=Ben, hs_createdate=1702249852005, rating_new__1_5_=1, id=11175538435}, {comment_text=Easy and delicious! I put in half a cup of sugar as feijoa are very sweet this year., approved=true, user_name=Chris, hs_createdate=1702249851970, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175611571}, {comment_text=Loved it! A really quick, easy and delicious recipe (minimum no washing up).I'm not a sweet tooth, so on the one I made 1 day later (it's good!) I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup of brown sugar, peeled the skin off and used all of the flesh rather than just the soft pulp (even more flavour), and reduced the bicarb to 3/4 tsp. Next time I'll increase the fejioas a little. Maybe tomorrow?I wonder if caramelizing the sugar would work too. Maybe next week??, approved=true, user_name=Richard, hs_createdate=1702249851593, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11174113464}, {comment_text=I make this with spiced rum, and banana.The rum replaces 1/4 of the water, & 1/4 of the sugar.Also, putting the eggs in AFTER all flour, baking soda, and baking powder works best. I was finding the eggs poached in the hot water/sugar/butter/fruit mix.Waking up to the smell of this is divine.Going to make enough to freeze for Christmas., approved=true, user_name=Delicious, hs_createdate=1702249851241, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175531417}, {comment_text=Love this recipe. It is failproof and so easy. I have also used bananas instead of feijoas and it made an amazing banana loaf!I use a metal loaf tin with a lid and it keeps it so moist and soft, especially on the top.Awesome recipe!!, approved=true, user_name=Baked_koko, hs_createdate=1702249851176, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175465553}]}

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake and grease and/or line a loaf tin (approximately 22cm x 12cm).
Place feijoas, boiling water, Chelsea White Sugar and butter in a large saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Mix in egg, flour, baking powder and baking soda.
Pour into prepared tin. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until loaf springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool in tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Delicious sliced and spread with butter!
Additional tips

For an extra flavour kick, add some chopped crystallised ginger to the loaf. Feijoas and ginger are a great combination!
