Vegan Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a golden, spiced nut crust — this dessert feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The plums are brushed with coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon before baking, which coaxes out their natural sweetness and turns their juices into a glossy, bubbling sauce around the edges of the dish. The topping of roughly chopped walnuts and almonds gets tossed with more maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt, so every bite has that satisfying crunch against the soft, yielding fruit. Everything here is built from whole, plant-based ingredients — no dairy, no eggs, no hidden animal products — just nuts, fruit, and pantry staples working together beautifully. The optional honey drizzle at the end is the one ingredient to swap out or simply skip if you want to keep the dish fully plant-based, since the maple syrup already delivers plenty of sweetness on its own. Serve these warm straight from the baking dish and they'll disappear fast, whether you're feeding a crowd or treating yourself to something that feels genuinely special on a weeknight.
