Wheat Free 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 coconut oil that toasts into something gloriously crunchy and fragrant. The bubbling fruit juices caramelizing around the edges of the baking dish are your cue that something genuinely special is happening in there. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and grain-based fillers — no swaps, no substitutions, no compromise on flavor. A final drizzle of honey pulls the whole thing together into a dessert that tastes like it belongs on a restaurant menu. Serve it warm straight from the dish and watch it disappear.
