Notes
*we used chopped almonds for this recipe but chopped walnut, pecan or cashews would also work well in this recipe if that is what you have on hand.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, almond flour, almonds, flax seed, ground ginger, brown sugar, butter, and salt. Mix until well combined.1 cup oats, ⅓ cup almond flour, ¼ cup almonds, 3 tbsp flaxseed, 1 tsp ginger, 3 tbsp brown sugar, ¼ cup butter, Pinch salt
- In a separate bowl, combine plums, blueberries, honey, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Gently stir until well combined.4 plum, ½ cup blueberries, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp corn starch, 1 tbsp lemon juice, ½ tsp cinnamon, Pinch salt
- To a 9 inch round baking pan, pour the fruit filling and top with the oatmeal mixture until the fruit is completely covered.
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is bubbling around the edge of the pan. If you prefer the topping to be slightly more golden brown you can broil for 2 minutes, careful to not let it burn as a little goes a long way.
- Let the plum crisp set for a few minutes and portion onto a serving plate with Greek yogurt. Enjoy!¼ cup Greek yogurt
Cooking Tips
- Choosing the right plums: For the best flavor, choose ripe but firm plums. If your plums are very ripe and juicy, you might want to add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to the filling to help thicken the juices.
- Toasting nuts: For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the almonds before adding them to the topping mixture. Toasting nuts brings out their natural oils and deepens their taste.
- Customizing the crisp: Feel free to customize the topping by using different types of nuts or seeds based on what you have available or your personal preference.
- Serving suggestion: For an extra touch of indulgence without compromising health, serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of low-fat vanilla ice cream.
