If you’re looking for a sweet, spiced treat that requires minimal fuss but delivers maximum warmth, this Plum & Clove Crumble is your perfect friend. It’s naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a crowd-pleasing choice for every family at the table. And here’s the best part: this recipe is designed to be scaled up, turning what you bake for your family into a valuable extra listing for your fellow Dinner Angels across town.

Plum & Clove Spiced Crumble (GF & DF)

This beautiful, autumnal crumble captures the cozy essence of spiced plums and buttery, crumbly topping. It’s incredibly easy, and we’ve broken down the steps so you can batch cook it quickly.

What You'll Need:

• For the Plums: 5 plums (sliced into quarters), 2 tablespoons of honey, 8 whole cloves, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
• For the Crumble Topping: 120g oat flour, 60g gluten-free plain flour, 90g coconut oil or dairy-free spread, 45g honey or sugar of choice, pinch of salt, small handful of oats.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Plums: In a pot, combine the sliced plums, honey, cloves, vanilla extract, and enough water to cover. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums have softened significantly.
2. Prepare the Crumble: In a separate bowl, combine all the crumble topping ingredients (oat flour, GF flour, coconut oil, honey, salt, and oats). Use your fingers to rub these ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cooked plums into a small oven dish. Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the plum mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°F (82°C) for 22–24 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and gorgeous.
4. Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite dairy-free ice cream.
