Gelatin Free Cinnamon-Walnut Plum Oat Crisp
Juicy, jammy plums bubbling beneath a golden, crunchy topping — this fruit crisp is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The filling gets its glossy, thickened texture from arrowroot starch rather than any animal-derived setting agent, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking into your dessert. Maple syrup sweetens both the fruit and the topping naturally, while warm cinnamon and a hint of ginger tie everything together in the most cozy, autumnal way. The topping is a satisfying mix of rolled oats, roughly chopped walnuts, almond flour, and coconut oil — it bakes up beautifully open and craggy, which is exactly what gives you that irresistible crunch in every bite. Letting it rest for ten minutes after it comes out of the oven is the move that transforms the bubbling filling into something perfectly scoopable. Serve it warm on its own or alongside your favorite dairy-free scoop, and don't be surprised when people ask for seconds before they've finished their first bowl.
