Mincemeat Crumble Bars

by Orfhlaith Noone December 18, 2025

These buttery crumble bars from Órfhlaith Noone are like little handheld tarts – perfect on a winter afternoon. Made with spelt flour and ground almonds, the crumb has a rich, nutty depth that pairs beautifully with sweet, spiced mincemeat. Simple to make and easy to slice, they’re ideal for Christmas baking, but just as lovely year-round with your favourite jam.

Makes: 9 bars

Ingredients

100g Rolled Oats
100g Spelt Flour
65g Ground Almonds
50g Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
100g Salted Butter, cut into 1cm cubes
275g Good Quality Mincemeat

Method

Line a 20x20cm tin with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 180°C.
Put all the ingredients except the mincemeat in a bowl and rub together using your fingertips. Keep going until you have a crumbly dough that sticks together when you pinch it.
Press 2/3 of the mix into the base of your prepared tin. The bottom of a glass can help you achieve a smooth, even surface.
Spread the mincemeat evenly over the base. Sprinkle with the remaining crumble and bake for 35-40 mins, until golden brown.
Cool completely before slicing.
