Xanthan Gum Free Dark Chocolate & Almond Baked Plums

Warm, jammy plums topped with a crunchy dark chocolate and almond crumble — this dessert feels indulgent but comes together with a short list of wholesome ingredients. The plums soften beautifully in the oven, their natural sweetness intensifying as the juices bubble up around the edges of the dish. That topping is the real star: chopped raw almonds, rich 70% dark chocolate, almond flour, maple syrup, and a whisper of ginger all clump together into something irresistibly nutty and complex. For anyone navigating thickener sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of any gums or binders — the almond flour does just enough work to hold the crumble together without any additives whatsoever. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which takes the guesswork out of dessert. A drizzle of honey at the end is optional but genuinely worth it, adding a floral finish that ties everything together. Serve it warm straight from the baking dish and watch it disappear.
