Feijoa Cake

Feijoa season is chaos—in the best way. One minute you’ve got none, the next you’re wondering why you have 47 sitting on the bench. This feijoa cake is a simple, no-fuss way to use up a decent pile of fruit without ending up with something overly sweet or heavy.  The texture is quite dense (almost like a cross between a cake and a pudding), with that classic feijoa graininess coming through.

Cheese Scones


Long weekends call for some healthy cheese scones...almost sugar free and almost vegan except for the cheese. Oat milk makes a healthier (but still creamy) alternative to full cream dairy milk, just make sure the one you choose doesn't have sugar & crap in it. These are nutrient dense compared to ones made with white flour and lot's of sugar but still crispy on the outside. Serve warm straight from the oven & enjoy.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups wholemeal spelt flour (plain flour is fine)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 
  • 2 cups grated tasty cheese (a little parmesan on top works well)
  • 1 cup oat milk (full-cream milk works as well)
Method
  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and smoked paprika into a bowl.
  2. Mix in the grated cheese.
  3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk.
  4. Mix lightly then turn out on a floured bench.
  5. Shape into a rectangle about 3cm high. Cut into 8 and transfer on to a baking tray.
  6. Bake at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden. Serve warm with butter...yums!
