Gut Friendly Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crumbly almond-and-dark-chocolate topping — this dessert feels indulgent while actually being built on ingredients your digestive system can get behind. Plums are naturally rich in fiber and polyphenols, and here they're simply dressed in coconut oil and cinnamon before the oven does all the heavy lifting. The crumble comes together with raw almonds, almond flour, a touch of maple syrup, and a hit of ginger — no refined grains, no dairy, and nothing that typically aggravates a sensitive gut. Dark chocolate at 70% cacao or higher brings depth and a dose of antioxidants without the sugar load of a conventional dessert topping. As the plums bake, their juices bubble up around the edges and mingle with the chocolate and spice in a way that smells absolutely incredible. A final drizzle of honey is entirely optional but adds a lovely floral note if you want it. This is the kind of recipe that proves eating with your gut in mind never has to mean settling for less.
