Pre-heat an oven to 180 degrees and line a 8-inch by 8-inch brownie tin with non – stick parchment paper.
To a large mixing bowl add your coconut sugar and melted dairy free butter, whisk until combined.
Add in the maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, 3 tbsp mincemeat, 1 tbsp candied peel and flax egg, whisk until combined.
Add the raw cacao, oat flour, spices, baking powder and salt. Fold in until you have a smooth batter.
Fold in the cooled melted chocolate before also folding in the chocolate buttons.
Transfer the batter to your lined brownie tin and smooth out with an offset palette knife so you have a smooth even top. Using a teaspoon, dot on the remaining mincemeat and candied peel, pressing it into the brownie mixture as you go.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the top looks set and the centre isn’t wobbly. They will continue to cook / firm up a little as the brownies cool.
Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack.
