Baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort involved, and this version with a spiced walnut-almond topping is genuinely stunning. The plums turn jammy and syrupy in the oven, their natural tartness mellowing into something rich and almost caramel-like as the coconut oil and maple syrup work their magic. The nut topping ā seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt ā goes golden and crunchy, giving you that satisfying contrast of textures in every bite. Because the whole dish is built around fruit, nuts, coconut oil, and maple syrup, there's no need to reach for eggs as a binder or enricher; everything holds together beautifully on its own. That makes this a genuinely easy win for anyone navigating egg-free cooking without wanting to fuss with substitutes or specialty products. A finishing drizzle of honey pulls the whole thing together and makes it look like something you'd order at a nice restaurant. Serve it warm straight from the baking dish and watch it disappear.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the plum halves cut-side up in a 9x13-inch baking dish, fitting them snugly so they hold their shape.
Stir together the 1 tbsp melted coconut oil, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then brush or spoon the mixture evenly over the cut faces of the plums.
