1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar [organic cane, raw, something good]
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup butter [half a stick]
1 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 beaten egg
1 cup chopped ripe pineapple guavas (feijoas)
Crystallized ginger (optional)
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare muffin tins [butter them, line them with muffin wraps; whatever your preference].
2) Combine dry ingredients [flours, sugar, baking powder and soda, ginger, salt]. Cut butter into small pieces and rub into flour mixture until it resembles fine bread crumbs.
3) Combine wet ingredients [milk, vanilla, egg], add to dry ingredients and mix in feijoas until just combined. Divide batter between muffin cups, top with optional bit of crystallized ginger, then bake for 15 minutes.
