Baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort required, and this version delivers deep, jammy fruit topped with a golden, spiced nut crunch that smells absolutely incredible coming out of the oven. The topping leans entirely on walnuts and almonds ā no grains, no oats, no fillers ā so the texture comes purely from the nuts themselves, toasted and caramelized with maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and coconut oil. That makes this a genuinely satisfying option when you need a baked dessert that skips grain-based crumbles entirely without sacrificing any of the cozy, crispy topping you'd expect. The plums soften beautifully in the oven, their natural tartness balancing the sweetness of the maple glaze, and the bubbling juices pooling in the dish are practically begging to be scooped up with every serving. A final drizzle of honey takes it over the top if you want a little extra richness. Serve it warm straight from the baking dish and watch it disappear fast.

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.
