Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 2 cups Mincemeat filling
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Transfer half of the crumb mixture (about 2 cups) to the prepared baking dish. Use your hands or a spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the bottom to form the crust.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the mincemeat filling with the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Spread the mincemeat mixture evenly over the pressed crust in the baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the mincemeat filling. Gently press it down to create an even top layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or desired portions.

Step 9

Serve as is, or pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
