Pecan Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums
Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a crackly dark chocolate and almond crumble on top ā this dessert feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list suggests. The plums soften beautifully as they bake, their natural sweetness concentrating and mingling with the cinnamon-kissed coconut oil underneath. The topping comes together in one bowl, with chopped almonds, almond flour, dark chocolate, maple syrup, and a whisper of ginger creating a rough, clumping crumble that bakes into something almost candy-like. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional, but honestly, go for it. This is the kind of recipe that works just as well as a dinner party dessert as it does a cozy weeknight treat, and every ingredient is straightforward and easy to source without worry. No pecans, no hidden nut blends ā just clean, bold flavors that let the fruit and chocolate do the talking. Serve it warm from the baking dish and watch it disappear.
