Chestnut Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums
Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that feel far more indulgent than they have any right to. Here, ripe plums are halved, kissed with coconut oil and cinnamon, then loaded with a crumbly topping of chopped almonds, dark chocolate, almond flour, maple syrup, and a whisper of ground ginger — all of it bubbling together into something that smells absolutely incredible. The dark chocolate melts into the almond crumble as it bakes, creating a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet, softened fruit underneath. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns around chestnuts specifically, this recipe leans confidently on almonds and almond flour without a single chestnut ingredient in sight. The whole thing comes together in one baking dish, which means minimal cleanup and maximum reward. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but honestly hard to skip. Serve it warm and watch it disappear.
