Tamarillo & Golden Syrup Mini Loaves

These lovely little loaves are rich and decadent, and married with the pop of tart tamarillo, they are such a delicious combination.

Eat them warm, with yoghurt or whipped cream, or serve them at afternoon tea.

Tamarillo golden syrup mini loaves - Twisted Citrus

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan bake and grease 8 mini loaf tins/moulds.
In a pot, melt together your topping ingredients.
Pour equal amounts of the golden syrup mix into your greased loaf mould.
Place one slice of tamarillo in the middle of your loaf tin/mould. Set aside.
Sift flour into a bowl, add sugar & cocoa make a well in the centre. Add melted butter, eggs & milk and whisk until combined and smooth.
Place the loaf mix on top of the tamarillo slices in the loaf tins. I find using two spoons easiest for this. Leave a little space when filling, for them to rise while cooking.
Cook for 25-35 mins until a skewer comes out clean when tested.
Cool in the tins for 10 mins then turn out. Occasionally the tamarillos will stick a little. Use a butter knife to help them out if needed.
Serve warm with yoghurt or whipped cream, or once cooled they are lovely for afternoon tea.
