5 Ingredient Mince Pie Brownies

Vegan Mince Pie Brownies

These mine pie brownies are divine. They have the festive flavours we all love, combined with a gooey chocolate mixture.

  • Mincemeat, if you’re not familiar with it, is a mixture of dried fruits, nuts and spices, which is often stuffed inside pastry to make mince pies here in the UK.
  • Traditionally it was made using animal fat, but nowadays many brands use vegetable fats, so it’s really easy to find vegan-friendly versions.
  • Opt for soy free chocolate and margarine to make this recipe soy free.

5 Ingredient Mince Pie Brownies

Serves: 9 squares Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 60 minutes 60 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • 225 g (7.9 oz) vegan dark chocolate, 70%
  • 120 g (4.2 oz) vegan margarine
  • 150 g (5.3 oz) golden caster sugar
  • 225 g (7.9 oz) self-raising flour
  • 300 g (10.6 oz) mincemeat, see notes

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 350°F and line a 20 cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") baking tin with baking paper.
  2. Add the dark chocolate and dairy-free margarine to a metal or glass bowl, then place the bowl over a saucepan containing 2cm (approx. 1 inch) of hot water and bring the water to a gentle simmer on a low heat (make sure the water level isn’t high enough so it’s contact with the bowl). Stir the chocolate and margarine occasionally. Once it has melted completely (this will take 3-5 minutes), remove the bowl from the heat.
  3. Add the sugar, self-raising flour and mincemeat to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Transfer the brownie mixture to the lined baking tin and use your fingers to level it out.
  5. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
  6. Don’t worry if it’s still a little moist in the middle. Leave the brownie to cool for 20 minutes so it hardens, then slice it into 9 squares and tuck in!
  7. Serve up for Christmas Day dessert.

Looks great! But where I live i will not find micemeat (at least not easily and in reasonable price). What can I use instead? My grandma’s home made jam, would do?

Hi Matylda, we haven’t tried any substitutes so can’t recommend any. I think as long as you have a similar dough texture to ours then it should work. Maybe try a mix of jam and dried fruit. Let us know how it goes. Best, Roxy

Hi. I’m looking for a dairy free margarine without palm oil. Do you know of one in the uk? Or have you tried the brownies with oil – rapeseed or olive? Many thanks. Ruth

Hi Ruth, we have sweet potato brownies in our debut cookbook using sweet potato and coconut oil. It is possible to make them with oil. All the best, Roxy

I believe naturali at selected Sainsbury’s stores is free from palm oil

Hi Karina, that’s strange. They will become more firm as they cool but I’m not sure why they would become rock solid. Did you use pre made mincemeat from a jar? And maybe did you add too much flour? Thanks, Roxy

Wow, these are great! A massive hit at my festive dinner party last night and my little boy loves them too. So simple and easy to make. I’ll be making a few batches in the next week. Thank you!

can you sub the sugar for anything or leave it out?

Reply
Ben, So Vegan December 18, 2019 - 12:30 pm

Hmm, if you leave it out then they’ll be very rubbery. You could reduce and add some maple syrup (or other sweetener) instead?
