Equipment
Ingredients
Plums
- 6 plums
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, optional, see note
Crisp Topping
- 1 cup oats, rolled or quick; use certified gluten-free if needed
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prep the Filling: Slice the plums (leave the skin on) and add them to a 9-inch pie dish (or similar sized baking dish). Toss with maple syrup, cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using).
- Make the Crisp Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, sliced almonds, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until crumbly and well combined. Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the plum filling.
- Bake: Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum filling is bubbly. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, just cover it with foil and keep baking until the plums are tender.
- Serve and Enjoy! Let it cool slightly, then scoop into ramekins and serve warm topped with vegan vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy plums: Fresh, in-season plums make all the difference!
- Even slices = even bake: Slice the plums about the same thickness to get an even bake.
- Nutrient boost: Add 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds, hemp seeds, or ground flaxseed to the crisp topping for a little extra fiber and healthy fats.
- Bake until bubbly: The filling should be juicy and bubbling around the edges—that’s how you know it’s ready. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, just cover it with foil and keep baking until the plums are tender.
