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 leans on ripe plums tossed with maple syrup, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger, creating a sauce that thickens beautifully as it bakes. The topping brings together rolled oats, roughly chopped walnuts, almond flour, coconut oil, and more maple syrup for a rustic, clumping crumble that crisps up to a deep golden brown in the oven. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from legumes, so there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out — it just works as written. Arrowroot starch does the thickening work that cornstarch typically handles, and almond flour binds the topping without any bean-based flour in sight. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will settle into something gloriously scoopable. Serve it warm on its own or with your favorite dairy-free topping for a dessert that feels indulgent but comes together with minimal fuss.
