Vegan Feijoa & Ginger Loaf

When feijoa season is here, they come in an abunance and sometimes you need to get creative. This loaf is one of our favourite ways to make sure none go to waste. 

It will be good for 4-6 days so it's great to make as part on a Sunday in preparation for the week or perfect for to serve for afternoon tea with friends or family.

½ tsp Baking Soda
