Hazelnut Free Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort involved, and this version delivers serious flavor with a spiced walnut and almond topping that turns golden and crunchy in the oven. The plums soften into something almost custardy while their juices bubble up around the edges, creating a natural caramel-like sauce that pools in the baking dish. Coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting in both the glaze and the nut topping, keeping everything naturally sweetened and deeply aromatic with cinnamon and a hint of ginger. For anyone navigating a hazelnut allergy or sensitivity, this recipe is a genuinely satisfying find — the topping leans on walnuts and almonds for that satisfying crunch and richness, with no hazelnut in sight. Store-bought nut-topped desserts and granola-style toppings can be a minefield, so making this at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. A final drizzle of honey before serving is optional but absolutely worth it, adding a floral note that ties the whole dish together. Serve it straight from the baking dish while it's still warm and fragrant — it needs nothing else.
