MSG Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Baked plums are one of those desserts that feel far more impressive than the effort required, and this version delivers serious depth with a crumbly almond-chocolate topping that caramelizes beautifully in the oven. The fruit softens into something almost jammy while the chopped almonds and dark chocolate mound on top turn golden and fragrant — it's the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell incredible. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward: coconut oil, maple syrup, almond flour, warm spices, and a good 70% cacao chocolate, so there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden additives or flavor enhancers that can sneak into packaged desserts. The pinch of sea salt and ground ginger in the crumble add just enough contrast to keep each bite interesting without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the plums. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but genuinely worth it if you want to lean into the richness. Serve it warm straight from the baking dish and it works equally well as a weeknight treat or an easy dinner-party dessert that looks like you tried much harder than you did.
