Paleo Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy plums topped with a golden, spiced nut crust — this is the kind of dessert that feels indulgent but is built entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients. Ripe plums are brushed with coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon before being loaded with a chunky walnut-almond topping seasoned with ginger and a pinch of sea salt, then roasted until the fruit is tender and the nuts are deeply fragrant. The natural sugars in the plums caramelize as they bake, creating bubbling, ruby-colored juices that pool around the edges of the dish in the most irresistible way. There are no grains, refined sugars, or dairy anywhere in this recipe — just fruit, nuts, coconut oil, and a touch of maple syrup doing all the heavy lifting. A light drizzle of honey at the end is optional but absolutely worth it if you want to lean into the sweetness. It works beautifully as a dinner party dessert or a cozy weekend treat, and the whole thing comes together in one baking dish with minimal cleanup. Serve it warm straight from the oven and watch it disappear.
