{has_more=true, offset=150, total=151, results=[{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}, {comment_text=This is the second time I have baked this loaf, and it gets easier every time.

I double it and bake a loaf and muffins at the same time. Also if you boil it a little longer you get a more toffee-like result which is delicious.

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!
