Pâine de Feijoa
Ingrediente
- 2 cupe Faina de toate scopurile - Notă 1
- 2 lingurițe Praf de copt
- ½ ceaşcă Brown Sugar - or coconut sugar or unrefined cane sugar
- ¼ linguriță Sare
- ½ linguriță Scorţişoară
- 1 ceaşcă feijoa - flesh scooped out, finely chopped
- ⅓ ceaşcă Ulei de avocado
- ½ ceaşcă Lapte de migdale
- 1 linguriță Extract de vanilie
Instrucțiuni
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf tin with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper and tin with oil spray. Set aside.
- Cut the ripe feijoa halfway crosswise and scoop out their flesh with a teaspoon. Finely chop the flesh into a puree on a chopping board using a sharp knife or press with a fork. Pack the feijoa flesh and its juice in a measuring cup to measure 1 cup.
- Place the feijoa puree in a large mixing bowl with avocado oil, vanilla extract, almond milk and stir to combine.
- Stir in sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir to incorporate. The batter should be thick and heavy and a bit hard to stir, but it should come together – all spots of flour should nicely combine with the wet ingredients. If not, or too dry. If too dry, it might be because some feijoas weren't ripe/soft enough, add 1-2 tablespoons extra milk to help the batter come together.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin and bake it on the center rack of the oven for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Lăsați să se răcească pe un grătar de sârmă timp de câteva ore înainte de a felia.
- Store in the fridge, in a sealed container for up to 4 days.

Ingrediente și înlocuiri
All you need to make this tasty loaf with feijoa are:
- Feijoa coaptă – When they fall from the tree and if the feijoa are soft to the touch, they are good for baking. The softer, the sweeter, and juicier they are. As a result, if you are using juicier feijoa, the bread can be moister and sweeter.
- Faina de toate scopurile – I use plain flour for this sweet bread recipe. For a gluten-free version, use my ghid de conversie fără gluten.
- Ulei de avocado – You can also use light olive oil or melted coconut oil.
- Praf de copt – for the soft and fluffy texture.
- Scorţişoară – If it’s in Autumn, it has cinnamon.
- Brown Sugar, unrefined cane sugar, or coconut sugar.
- Lapte de migdale or any plant-based milk you love, including oat milk or soy milk.
- Extract de vanilie – pentru arome.
How To Make Feijoa Loaf
It’s so easy to make this feijoa bread that once you try it, you will make it every Autumn.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf tin with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper with cooking spray. Set it aside.
- Place the feijoas on a chopping board. Then, cut the feijoa halfway lengthwise and use a teaspoon to scoop out their flesh.
- Place the flesh on a chopping board, and discard the feijoa skin or compost.
- Next, use a long sharp knife to finely chop the feijoa into a sort of thin puree. You can also mash with a potato masher or fork. You don’t need to cook the mash in a saucepan.
- Pack the mashed feijoa and its juice in the measuring cup – you need a full cup.
- Place the cup of chopped feijoa in a large bowl with avocado oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Stir the wet ingredients evenly. Next, whisk in the sugar and salt.
- Finally, sift in the flour and baking powder and use a rubber spatula to bring the ingredients together into a thick feijoa loaf batter.
- Mix to combine well until no more flour dots can be seen. If too dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of almond milk.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the center rack of the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45 to 50 minutes. The cooking time varies depending on how juicy the feijoas are. The juicier, the longer it takes to bake the loaf. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean and the top has nice golden brown.
- Let the feijoa cake cool down for 5 minutes in the pan, then pull it out from the pan using the hanging part of parchment paper.
- Cool on a cooling rack for a few hours or overnight until the loaf is at room temperature.
