Now, this recipe for Mincemeat Crumble Bars is really just a variation on something like a Date Slice or other crumble bar. But it’s super easy to make and tastes great. The bottom and top layers are exactly the same mixture and the middle layer is mincemeat. Shop bought or homemade. And if you’re using homemade, then there’s always my Homemade Mincemeat recipe to try.

The method is very straightforward. Just rub the butter into the flour, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Press half into the tin. Top with a generous layer of mincemeat. Then sprinkle the remaining crumble mix over the top. And bake.

And with all those oats, and coconut and wholemeal flour in the crumble mix, these Mincemeat Crumble Bars have got to be good for you! (Probably.)

This recipe is definitely adaptable. Use it with stewed apples in the filling. Or plums or any other fruit mixture. Great for those times of the year when you don’t have mincemeat to hand.
