Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups plums, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, white sugar, and lemon juice. Gently mix until the plums are evenly coated. Spread the plum mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredient mixture. Use a fork or spatula to mix until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly clumpy topping.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the plum mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents burning.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The crisp can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- • Choose ripe, slightly soft plums for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness. • For a gluten-free version, ensure you're using certified gluten-free oats. • Let the crisp cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burning. • Experiment with different toppings like vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. • If plums aren't in season, you can substitute with other stone fruits like peaches or nectarines. • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the crumble topping. • Involve kids in the cooking process—they can help mix ingredients and sprinkle the topping.
