Baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort involved, and this version delivers on every front ā jammy, caramelized fruit topped with a golden, spiced nut crumble that smells incredible the moment it hits the oven. The whole thing comes together with coconut oil instead of the refined vegetable and seed oils that sneak into so many baked goods, making it a genuinely clean treat without any compromise on richness or flavor. Walnuts and almonds get tossed with maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt before being mounded right into the plum cavities, so every bite has that satisfying crunch against the soft, bubbling fruit underneath. The maple syrup does double duty ā coating the nuts and brushing over the plums ā so the sweetness builds in layers rather than landing all at once. A light drizzle of honey at the end is optional but highly recommended if you want to lean into the dessert energy. 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.
