Feijoa Cake with Crumble Topping Gluten Free
Here is a recipe for an abundance of feijoas or some that you have that are just not ripe enough. I had about 8 medium sized. Make a crumble topping with whatever mix of nuts and coconut you have in your pantry. Mine was made up of approx. 70g ground almonds, 30g shredded coconut and cinnamon (I like cinnamon). You can add a tbl of coconut sugar if you want it a little sweeter but its not really needed.
