Xanthan Gum Free Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a golden, spiced nut crust — this is the kind of dessert that feels far more indulgent than it actually is. The plums soften and release their juices as they bake, pooling around a crunchy topping of walnuts and almonds seasoned with cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Everything is held together with coconut oil and maple syrup, so there are no stabilizers, binders, or thickeners anywhere in the dish — it just works on its own, naturally. That makes it a genuinely stress-free choice for anyone navigating ingredient labels and trying to avoid additives like xanthan gum without sacrificing texture or flavor. A finishing drizzle of honey takes it over the top, though it's honestly gorgeous without it too. Serve it straight from the baking dish while it's still warm and the nuts are crackling — it's the kind of thing that disappears fast.
