Gluten Free Feijoa, Ginger And Date Loaf
This recipe is a great way to use up feijoas when they are in season or you could replace the feijoas for kiwifruit or apple if you don’t have any. Its the combination of the ginger and dates that pulls this all together into a scrummy loaf to have when you need a little something sweet. Naturally gluten free, refined sugar free and you could replace the butter for coconut oil if you wanted dairy free also.
