Feijoa and Ginger Muffins

I was once given a bag of feijoas and at the bottom of the bag were a few that were on the turn and a bit small for eating anyway. But I didn’t want to waste them. I couldn’t find a recipe I liked the sound of, or had all the ingredients to hand for, so I made this one up:

300 – 400 g whole feijoas

125g butter

2 eggs

1/4c milk

3/4 c soft brown sugar

1  3/4c self raising flour

knob of fresh ginger (or a good teaspoon of ground ginger, depending on how much you like the ginger flavour)

pinch of mixed spice

Whiz feijoas and ginger together. Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, sift in dry ingredients and fold in milk and feijoa and ginger mix. Spoon into muffin tins and cook 180 10 -15 min.
