Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (160Β°C fan) or 350Β°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar until fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Pour the melted butter and sugar mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.
Press half of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to compact it firmly.
Spread the mincemeat filling evenly over the oat base, ensuring it reaches the edges.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the mincemeat layer, pressing down gently to form a crumble topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan completely before slicing into 16 squares or slices.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Serve and enjoy!
