Mincemeat Muffins have become a bit of a staple in our house: they taste of Christmas but involve none of the bother of making mince pies. The recipe came from a Sainsbury's Magazine. (And we've eaten them all so no photo!)
295g plain flour
75g dark brown sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
284ml buttermilk
4 ½ tbsp vegetable oil
75ml whole milk
1 large egg
250g mincemeat
Preheat oven to Gas 6, 200°C
Sift together the dry ingredients and stir to mix evenly.
Mix wet ingredients (except mincemeat) together.
Add the liquid mix to the dry and mix lightly.
Add the mincemeat and stir. Don’t aim for a smooth blend, it should be blobby!
Line a muffin tin with muffin papers – it will make 12-15 muffins
Fill the muffin papers ¾ full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Leave to cool in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
These are best eaten on the day you make them, and we like them warm - but you can gently reheat them which cheers them up - I give them a few seconds in my microwave.

Looks a lovely recipe, and the fact that you've already scoffed them all would indicate that they taste scrummy too.
Might just try that next year,

Great recipe. I love muffins but find making mince pies such a fiddle. I think this is the first year I didn't make any. Instead I compromised by getting some from a local bakery.
Hope you had a great Christmas - Happy New Year!

I love mince pies and these muffins sound yummy. Sadly, I'm the only person in our house who feels this way, so I'd have to eat them all myself. Shame....
Thank-you for reading and commenting, and a Happy New Year to you all!
