Ingredient notes:
In creating this homemade plum crisp recipe, I changed things up a little and used a granola topping. I needed to add some extra healthy components to this recipe. You can use either my Cinnamon Granola or my Paleo (grain-free) granola recipe to top this refined sugar-free plum crisp recipe.
Note, if you prefer a more traditional "crisp" topping, follow the topping recipe in my Gluten Free Apricot Crisp recipe. Stone fruits like plums and apricots make the BEST fruit crisps!!
Recipe step by step directions:
Step 1: If you don't have granola on hand, make a quick batch following one of my homemade granola recipes. I use cashews and other nuts to give this a little protein boost.
Step 2: Cut open your plums and remove the pits. Add to a bowl with coconut sugar, coconut oil, and maple syrup.
Depending on how sweet your plums are, you may need to adjust the sugar and syrup higher or lower.
Step 3: Add your plums to an 8x8 baking dish.
Step 4: Add the granola on top of the plums. Spread it around, cover the top with foil, and bake at 325º F for 25-30 minutes.
To test if the crisp is done, stick a fork into a plum. If the plum is soft and juicy, the crisp is ready. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Tips and Recipe FAQ:
Yes, you "could" leave this gluten free plum crisp out overnight. There aren’t any ingredients in the plum crisp that require refrigeration, however, when it is hot outside, you do risk mold. To keep it safe, I would recommend refrigerating your plum crisp.
Yes, if you prefer the crisp to be warm, you can certainly heat it back up. Heat the oven up to 350º F. and bake it for 10-15 minutes until it warm. You can also microwave it for 25-35 seconds too. Just cover with a paper towel to prevent a mess.
Yes, you can freeze this plum crisp recipe. Allow the plum crisp to cool completely once you remove it from the oven. Then double cover it with tin foil to give it an added layer of protection. Place it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place on the counter or in the fridge until it’s defrosted.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, and it should keep fresh for up to 4 days.
