Equipment

  • 25cm / 9.8 inch baking dish
  • Pot with steamer

Ingredients
  

  • 550 g scooped feijoas about 8 large or 1kg worth, whole
  • 3 apples crisp Granny Smith or a sweet red variety
  • 1 cup rolled oats fine
  • ½ cup coconut chips/flakes
  • 40 g flaked almonds just under half a cup
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prep:

  • Preheat the oven at 180˚C / 356˚F, fan bake.

Feijoa filling:

  • Peel and cut apples into thick slices, then steam until just soft.
  • Slice feijoas in half, scoop out the flesh and roughly chop.
  • Combine feijoas and apples and transfer to a baking dish.

Crumble topping:

  • Combine oats, coconut chips, flaked almonds, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup and coconut oil in a bowl, and use your hands to mix together.
  • Spoon crumble mixture over the fruit, even out the surface, cover with tin foil, and bake for 15 minutes, middle rack. Remove the foil and bake a further 5 minutes or so to crisp up the topping.
  • Serve hot with a dollop of coconut yoghurt!

Notes

  • Feijoas can be substituted for other fruits – apples, pears, berries – as a guide, 1 kilogram of feijoas yields about 550g of fruit
  • Steaming the apples is ideal so that the consistency of both fruits is the same in the final product
  • You can try substituting oats for quinoa flakes if you need this to be celiac friendly
  • To make this nut free, substitute the flaked almonds for more coconut, though I’d probably use desiccated
  • The foil is quite important – otherwise the topping will burn
  • This is a totally legitimate breakfast! We’ve actually been devouring a little over our morning oats
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for about 4 days
  • Freezes well
  • Feijoa crumble is a kid friendly recipe if you’d like to get little hands involved
