Baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort involved, and this version delivers on every level. The fruit softens in the oven until it's jammy and fragrant, while a crunchy topping of walnuts and almonds caramelizes into something genuinely irresistible. Warm cinnamon and a hint of ginger run through both the fruit and the nut mixture, tying everything together in a way that feels cozy and a little sophisticated at once. Coconut oil and maple syrup do the heavy lifting in place of butter and refined sugar, so the whole thing has a naturally wholesome quality without tasting like it's trying too hard. The recipe is completely free of pecans at every step — no sneaky additions, no mixed nut blends to sort through, just walnuts and almonds doing exactly what they're supposed to do. A final drizzle of honey over the warm fruit is optional but highly recommended if you want to push it over the top. Serve it straight from the baking dish with a spoon 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.
