Ingredients

  • 4 mince pies, crushed. Homemade or store bought
  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter
  • 3.5 oz (100g) dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup (100g) white/caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (70g) plain/all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp ground mixed spice
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and spray an 8x8 inch square pan with cooking spray. Lay a strip of grease proof paper across the pan one way, with overhang at each end to help you lift the brownies out.
  • Place the butter and dark chocolate into a heat proof bowl and microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are all melted together. Leave to one side.
  • Place the sugars, eggs and vanilla extract into a large bowl and whisk until combined and slightly frothy.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk briefly to combine.
  • Add in the flour, cocoa powder, mixed spice and baking powder and whisk until everything comes together and there are no lumps of four.
  • Tip in the crushed mince pies and fold in gently with a spoon.
  • Pour the brownie mixture into your prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top looks matte in the oven light and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out with a few crumbs on, not liquid mixture. A skewer into the edges should come out clean.
  • Leave the brownies to cool completely in the pan before transferring to a chopping board and slicing into 9-12 squares.
  • Mince Pie Brownies will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 5 days.
