The Lowdown on Vegan Mince Pies

Vegan mince pie recipes

Christmas is the time to get creative in the kitchen, either for some alone time with Michael Bublé’s Christmas, or with teaching little ones how to lick the bowl without their parents seeing. Here are a few of our top vegan mince pie recipe picks: 

• This recipe from the Domestic Gothess makes chunky pies and uses a flakey coconut oil pastry we think you’ll love.
• This is one of our favourite vegan baking recipes at Christmas time – Madeline Olivia’s recipe makes delicate and oh-so Instagram-worthy mince pies to give all of your followers delicious, vegan food envy.
• And this recipe from Bit of The Good Stuff makes one giant, family-sized mince pie which is perfect for slicing up and sharing.

Vegan mince pies to buy 

With the best will in the world, we don’t always have time to make mince pies from scratch, especially if the in-laws are dropping in without much notice, we get it. For times like this, here are some of our favourite ready-made vegan mince pies: 

• These crumbly mince pies from ASDA sit firmly in the accidentally vegan camp. A truly plant-based and mainstream option – we applaud you ASDA.
• We can’t get enough of these luxury vegan mince pies from OGGS. They also only use sustainable palm oil and biodegradable packaging, so bonus points for that.
• If you’re looking for a delicious vegan and gluten-free mince pie, then get yourself to Waitrose for these flavour-packed treats this Christmas.
