Vegetarian Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that feel far more indulgent than the effort involved. Each half gets brushed with a maple-cinnamon glaze before being crowned with a mounded mixture of walnuts, almonds, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt — the kind of topping that turns golden and fragrant while the fruit softens and its juices bubble up around the edges of the pan. The result is a dessert that hits every note: tender, caramelized fruit, crunchy spiced nuts, and a little drizzle of honey to finish if you're feeling generous. Every ingredient here is naturally plant-based, so there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label — it just works as written. It's the sort of recipe that looks impressive enough for guests but comes together with one bowl and a baking dish. Serve it straight from the pan while it's still warm, maybe alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of thick yogurt if you want to lean into the contrast.
