This Healthy Plum Crisp features juicy baked plums topped with a crunchy oat and almond crumble. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, it’s a wholesome dessert that’s easy to make and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 6 plums
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 cup oats (rolled or quick; use certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the plums, leaving the skins on, and place them in a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish. Toss with 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and cornstarch if using.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, sliced almonds, 1/4 cup maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Stir until crumbly and evenly mixed.
  4. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the plum mixture.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil and continue baking until the plums are tender.
  6. Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Cornstarch helps thicken the fruit juices but can be omitted for a looser filling.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven before serving.
