Baby Mince Pies – Refined Sugar Free Baby Led Feeding.

The countdown to Christmas is well and truly underway in our house. The presents are wrapped under the tree and little Oscar thinks that they are all for him. Needless to say, we have had to re-wrap quite a few already.

I have been on a baking mission for the past few weeks and have come up with some really yummy treats for the whole family during the holidays. With all the sugary treats floating about I wanted to make a few things they could eat that would fill them up with some goodness.

These mince pies I think are my favourite recipe of all time. The pastry melts in your mouth and the fruit filling contains only fruit! Not a spoonful of sugar or suet in sight!

Here’s hoping Santa loves them as much as my kids 🙂

Merry Christmas everyone. Aileen x

Notes

Mince Pies freeze really well and can just be taken out of the freezer a few hours before eating and served at room temperature. If you would prefer them warm reheat in an oven at 180ºC for about 10 minutes.
