Instructions
1 Line a muffin tin with muffin cases. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place feijoa flesh in a bowl with lime juice and set to one side.

Is there any other fruit that can be substituted for this recipe?
Hi Nina
By all means experiment. This would work with plums, berries, apricots and tamarillos, to name a few.
